It is 60. To understand future problems like this, "least common multiple" refers to the smallest number that two or more numbers divide into. So for instance, with 10 and 12, you are asking "which multiple of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60) is also a multiple of 12 (12, 24, 36, 48, 60).

The least common factor of these is 2 - you can figure this out by finding the factors of each - 10 is divisible by 2 and 5, and 12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6. To find the least common multiple of these two, you multiply the two by the greatest factor of each less than themselves - so you multiply 10 by 6, and 12 by 5 to get 60.
