Instruments of higher precision can reduce the least count error. By repeating the observations and taking the arithmetic mean of the result, the mean value would be very close to the true value of the measured quantity.

In order to increase the least count, the number of divisions on the main scale should be increased.
Explanation:
- Vernier caliper is an instrument used for taking accurate measurements.
- This tool is used to get accurate reading of small things such as cylinders and spherical shapes.
