Zero is the smallest digit. However, zero is not a number. It is a place holder. So, that is not the answer to your question.
The answer depends on the size and manufacturer of the caliper. As the size of the caliper increases, so will the size of its smallest accurate measurement. Most 6-inch calipers can accurately measure down to 0.001 inch or 0.0254 mm.
micro meter least count in British system
LC= Value of one main scale division Total number of divisions on vernier
Lowest is "one thousand", unless you count "a hundred"
The numerical average of a group of numbers is the ratio of the sum of group of numbers to the total amount of numbers. This is also known as the mean.
i think this is the answer for sure :noun
0.01mm
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
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
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
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.

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 vernier caliper is 0.01mm while the least count of screw gauge is 0.001 mm. ... Difference between screw gauge and vernier caliper in tabular form. Micrometer Screw Gauge Vernier caliper It has a circular scale. It has a vernier scale. It rotates to measure the objects. It slides to measure the length.
To use a Vernier caliper, first close the jaws and check that the zero on the Vernier scale aligns with the main scale. Next, open the jaws and place the object you want to measure between them. Read the measurement where the lines on the Vernier scale align with the main scale.
