    - 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹coulombs

    Explanation:

    Charge on individual oil droplet would be multiple of charge on one electron. So we will find out the minimum common factor of given individual charges that is the LCM of all the charges given.

    LCM of given charges like 3.204, 4.806,8.01 and 14.42. We have neglected the power of ten (10⁻¹⁹) because it is already a common factor to all.

    The LCM is 1.602. So charge on electron is 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹.
