The least common multiple of a set of integers is the smallest positive integer divisible by all integers in the set.

The prime factorization of $5$ is $5$.

The prime factorization of $10$ is $2 \times 5$.

The prime factorization of $3$ is $3$.

Find the least common multiple by multiplying the prime number powers together, including only the greatest prime number power of each common prime.
