Question

Accepted Answer

The least count is the smallest measurement that can be made using a measuring instrument.

Least count is the resolution or precision of a measuring instrument.
It determines the smallest unit of measurement that can be read on the instrument.
For a vernier caliper, the least count is the difference between one main scale division and one vernier scale division.
The formula to calculate the least count of a vernier caliper is: Least Count = (1 main scale division) - (1 vernier scale division).
For example, if the main scale division is 1 mm and the vernier scale division is 0.02 mm, then the least count would be 0.98 mm.
