What are the common factors of 2 and 5 and 10?

This question cannot be answered as all three numbers do not share a common factor. 2 has 2 as its only factor 5 has 5 as its only factor 10 has 2 and 5 as its factors. As you can see the three numbers do not contain a common factor, but 10 does have both the other numbers as factors.
