Least count error is associated with the resolution of the instrument and can be reduced by using an instrument of high precision. Precision of the measurement can be improved by using an instrument of smaller least count.
One another technique on the part of the experimenter is to take more readings and the mean value of all the measurements. This will significantly reduce the error.
