You mean 1,4,5??
Here's a trick
Look at your open strings on the guitar you have E,A,D,G,B,E
because the top open string is E we are looking at the key of E
counting from the top down look at the 1, the 2 and the 5 strings
(usually we refer to the bottom string as the 1st string but its backwards for this little demo)
you have E,A & B which are the i,iv and v or major chords of that scale
For the Key of C, find C on the top string,which would be the 8th fret
Barre the whole fret and the 1,2,and 5 of the barre are your chords of the C scales
C,F & G
etc for the rest of the keys
(i hope i've got that right)
