In a vernier caliper, the number (n) is multiplied by the least count (LC) to convert the reading obtained from the instrument into a measurable value. The least count represents the smallest value that can be read accurately on the scale, and multiplying it by (n) allows for precise measurement of the object being gauged. This multiplication helps in determining the actual length, width, or depth of the object by providing a clear, quantifiable reading.
