The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers or terms. You have only one term in the question!
I'm not clear on your terminology but I'm pretty sure it would look like this: 4(a-3). In this case 4 is the greatest common factor.

To find the common monomial factor of a set of monomials, first identify the variables and their corresponding exponents in each monomial. Next, determine the smallest exponent for each variable that appears in all the monomials. Finally, combine the variables with their corresponding smallest exponents to form the common monomial factor. This factor will be the largest monomial that can be factored out from each original monomial.
24 is not the greatest common factor of any single number. Common factors are the factors that two or more numbers have in common. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that two or more numbers have in common. There cannot be any common factors or a greatest common factor of a single number. There must be at least two number for common factors and a greatest common factor. Example: The greatest common factor of 24 and 48 is 24. The greatest common factor of 60 and 144 is 24. The greatest common factor of 240 and 264 is 24.
The least common factor is always one (1), regardless of what the greatest common factor is.
