To determine which number has the least value, we first need to convert each number into scientific notation and then compare them.

98788000 = 9.8788 x 10^7
987890000 = 9.8789 x 10^8
89987000 = 8.9987 x 10^7

The number 9.8788 x 10^7 is the smallest in scientific notation.

Therefore, the number with the least value is 98788000 (9.8788 x 10^7).
