Solution
Least count (L.C.) of a screw gauge : The L.C. of a screw gauge is the distance moved by it in rotating the circular scale by one division.
Thus, L.C. = Pitch of the screw gauge/total no. of divisions on its circular scale.
If a screw moves by 1 mm in one rotation and it has 100 divisions on its circular scale, then pitch of screw = 1 mm.
Thus, L.C. = 1 mm / 100 = 0.01 mm = 0.001 cm
