Since people answered the question but didn't explain how to find the answer, I will tell you how to find the answer.
The least common denominator is the lowest denominator that all the denominator that all the number's will divide into evenly. For example, both 1/3 and 1/5 will divide into 1/15, but 1/10 will not divide evenly. 1/5 will divide into 1/10 evenly, but 1/3 will not.
To find one that all 3 of your fractions will divide into, if you multiply 1/10*1/3*1/5, you will get 1/150. But there are lower numbers that all of the above fractions will divide into, so that is not the least common denominator.
30/10=3
30/3=10
30/5=5
Therefore, your answer is 1/30

U just have to find the least common multiple of the denominators
