COMMENTS
A non-mode in a multiset is an element that appears fewer times than at least one of the others. For example, the non-modes in {a,a,b,b,b,c,d,d,d} are {a,c}.

EXAMPLE
The prime factorization of 13860 is 2*2*3*3*5*7*11, with non-modes {5,7,11}, so a(13860) = 3.
MAPLE
f:= proc(n) local F, m;
F:= ifactors(n)[2][.., 2];
m:= max(F);
