Determining the LCD in a Distribution Rate Model

An inventory analyst is training an apprentice on calculating supply distribution rates, a process that involves the complex rational expression 3x2+7x+104x+2+1x+5\frac{\frac{3}{x^2+7x+10}}{\frac{4}{x+2}+\frac{1}{x+5}}. According to the first step of the Least Common Denominator (LCD) method, what is the LCD of all the inner fractions, and what is the factored form of the trinomial x2+7x+10x^2+7x+10 that helps identify this LCD?
