The lowest common denominator is #10#.

Explanation:

To calculate the lowest common denominator of 2 fractions you multiply their denominators and divide the result by their greatest common divisor.

Since #2# and #5# are prime numbers their only common divisor is #1#, so the lowest common multiplier is #2*5=10#
