I think the simplest way would be to use a public array to assign those sliders from the inspector:

 // This array is accessible from the inspector
 public Slider[] sliders;

Go back to your inspector and assign the Size to 5, then select the sliders you want to compare. You can then get the slider with the smallest value by using something like:

 // Use the public array above
 public Slider CheckSmallestSlider ()
 {
     Slider minSlider = this.sliders [0];
     for (int k = 1; k < this.sliders.Length; k++) {
         if (minSlider.value > this.sliders [k].value)
             minSlider = this.sliders [k];
     }
     return minSlider;
 }

I'll attach the full script in a comment to this.

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 
 public class SlideCheck : MonoBehaviour
 {
     // This array is accessible from the inspector
     public Slider[] sliders;
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update ()
     {
         Slider minSlider = this.CheckSmallestSlider ();
         Debug.LogFormat ("{0} has the lowest value: {1}", minSlider, minSlider.value);
     }
 
     // Use the public array above
     public Slider CheckSmallestSlider ()
     {
         Slider minSlider = this.sliders [0];
         for (int k = 1; k < this.sliders.Length; k++) {
             if (minSlider.value > this.sliders [k].value)
                 minSlider = this.sliders [k];
         }
         return minSlider;
     }
 }
