The value of each main scale divisions is half a degree(30') . The number of vernier scale divisions is 30. 29 main scale divisions are divided into 30 vernier scale divisions (30 VSD = 29 MSD ) Therefore value of 1 VSD = 29/30 MSD. Least Count (L.C.) = 1MSD - 1VSD = 1MSD - 29/30 MSD = 1/30 MSD = 1/30 x 30' (L.C.) = 1' (1 minute)
In MKS unit system for length 1/1000 of a meter is termed as 1 Millimeter. and is measured with a screw guage of Least count 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 mm or with a vernier caliper of least count as given earlier or with a universal measuring machine of least count usually 1/2 micron or with a co-ordinate measuring machine of least count 10^-5 mm. If it is for fluid measurement 1/1000 part of a liter is called milliliter If it is time measurement 1/1000 of a second is called millisecond. In short 10^12 - tera 10^9 - giga 10^6 - mega 10^3 - Kilo 10^2 - hecto 10^1 - deca 10^-1 - deci 10^-2 - centi 10^-3 - milli 10^-6 - micro 10^-9 - nano 10^-12 - pico and so on.
Generally least count of micrometer varies instrument to instrument.. But common micrometers which are used in institute level laboratories have least count of 0.0001mm
The least value which can be measured from any measuring instrument or device is called its least count. Generally the least count of a vernier caliper is 0.02mm.You can get a least count of 0.01mm in Digital vernier caliper.
Least Count [L.C]:-Least count is minimuim acuurate value meauserd by instrument.Least Count of Vernier Callipers:-The minimum value measured is 0.1mm but nowa days [l.c] is of 0.5mm.'
*Micrometer have a rotary handle and whereas vernier have a slider. *Micrometer is for measuring diameters while vernier is for measuring inside & outside diameter as well as depth. *Least Count of Vernier Caliper is 0.02mm *Least Count of Micrometer is 0.01mm

Least count of vernier caliper= 1 MSD - 1 VSD. Main scale usually would have 1 mm as the minimum division. Such 9 divisions, ie 9 mm would be divided into ten equal parts in the vernier. So VSD = 0.9 mm Hence the least count = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 mm If the same is to be given in centimetre, then it will be 0.01 cm.

The least count of the vernier can be measured by using the formula stated below. Least count (L.C) = 1 M.S.D - 1 V.S.D Example; vernier scale is constructed by taking 49 main scale divisions dividing them into 50 divisions ie. 49mm divided into 50 parts therfore 1 vsd=49/50 mm=0.98mm 1 MSD=1mm substituting in formula L.C = 1 M.S.D - 1 V.S.D L.C=1-0.98=0.02mm
No unit for vernier scale coincidence. But as we multiply it by least count which has unit then we get vernier scale reading with the same unit. Of course main scale reading and vernier scale reading would have the same unit

To find the sensitivity of a vernier caliper, measure the least count of the caliper (typically 0.02 mm) by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the number of divisions on the vernier scale. For a micrometer, measure the least count (typically 0.01 mm) by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the number of divisions on the thimble scale. Sensitivity indicates the smallest change in measurement that can be detected by the instrument.
The least count of the vernier caliper is calculated by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the total number of divisions on the vernier scale. In this case, 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 20 equal parts, so the least count is 1 cm / 20 = 0.05 cm or 0.5 mm.
