This has to be done in two steps. First, we will find LCM of given numbers, then we will make it a perfect square.

So the LCM of 4, 9, 10 is   180.                                  4 = 2\times2  ;           9 = 3\times3   ;             10 =  2\times5

Prime factorisation of 180 gives = 2\times2\times3\times3\times5.

To make it a perfect square we need to multiply it with 5.

So, the smallest square number which is divisible by each of the numbers 4, 9 and 10 = 900.
