What is Limit of precision?
The precision of something just means that the result can be repeated again and again. Everytime you repeat an experiment, you will get the same result. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the results are accurate! Your measurments, results, whatever can be very precise, but completely inaccurate. Accuracy is how close something is to the true value. For example, say I have a ruler. I have used this ruler to measure my table 10 times. Every time I measure the table, I get a measurement of 10ft. My measurement is very precise. However, what I don't know is that there is a fault with my ruler. The inches on my ruler are not true inches. Each inch may actually be only 1/9th of an inch. Or all the inches on my ruler may not even be the same. So while my measurements I took with my ruler 10 times are precise, they are not accurate because there is fault with my ruler. Something can be precise, but not necessarily accurate! I would say that this is the biggest limitation of precision. A precise measurement is not always a reliable one!

What detemines the precision of a calculated result based on measurement?
The precision of any measurement comes from the equipment being used, instruments that can measure in smaller increments are more precise, as they can measure closer to the true value. For example if you used a ruler to measure the thickness of a wire, you may get a result of 2mm, but if you measure the same wire with a micrometer you may get a result of 1.8mm - the micrometer can measure in smaller increments, so the result is more precise.
