LC FOR VERNIER CALIPER-0.1mm
LC FOR MICROMETER -0.01 mm
L.C- NO OF SMALLEST DIVISION ON MAIN SCALE
-------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL NO OF DIVISION ON VERNIER SCALE
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.
The formula for calculating the least count of a vernier height gauge is: Main scale division / (Total number of divisions on the vernier scale - 1). This formula helps determine the smallest measurement that can be read from the gauge.
first find out least count of main circular scale in degrees,then divide least count of main scale by total divisions on cylindrical scale(this cylindrical scale works as vernier scale for fist one,its least count will be in minutes) then further divide least count of cylindrical scale by total divisions of small vernier scale which touches it,(this small scale works as vernier scale for cylindrical scale and its least count will be in seconds).
1)Main Scale is fixed(It does not move) Vernier scale slides along main scale.2)Least count of Mainscale is 0.1cmLeast count of vernier scale is 0.01cm
there is a big different between the vernier caliper and micro meter caliper,the vernier caliper they can use the outside and inside measurement while the micro meter caliper it's just only use outside measurement..

*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
micro meter least count in British system
Standard is 0.01 mm
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.
LC= Value of one main scale division Total number of divisions on vernier
The least count of a vernier depth micrometer can be calculated using the formula: [ \text{Least Count} = \text{Value of one main scale division} - \text{Value of one vernier scale division} ] Typically, for a depth micrometer, the value of one main scale division is 1 mm, and if the vernier scale has 10 divisions that equal 9 mm, the least count would be: [ \text{Least Count} = 1 , \text{mm} - \left(\frac{9 , \text{mm}}{10}\right) = 0.1 , \text{mm} , \text{or} , 0.01 , \text{cm}. ]

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.
The importance of least count is that it has a capable of taking more accurate and precise measurements
