Define least count. Describe the method to find the least count of a vernier calliper.

If in a Vernier callipers 10 VSD coincides with 8 MSD, then the least count of Vernier calliper is [given 1 MSD = 1mm]

The main scale of a vernier callipers has n divisions/cm. n divisions of the vernier scale coincide with (n-1) divisions of main scale. The least count of the vernier callipers is,
