(I've posted this question earlier to MSE but did not receive answers, so I'll try it here. I also condensed the wording, hopefully not too much)

Let
$\displaystyle \small \qquad f_w = (2-1)(3-1)(5-1)\ldots(p_k-1) \qquad = \prod_{k=1}^w (prime(k)-1) $
or in general with a natural number for the exponent n
$\displaystyle \small (1) \qquad f_w(n) = (2^n-1)(3^n-1)(5^n-1)\ldots(p_k^n-1) \qquad = \prod_{k=1}^w (prime(k)^n-1) $
with w going to infinity.

Then let's denote the canonical primefactorization of that product
$\displaystyle \small (2) \qquad f_w(n) = 2^{a_{n,1}} \cdot 3^{a_{n,2}} \cdot 5^{a_{n,3}} \cdot \ldots \cdot q_k^{a_{n,k}} \cdot \ldots $

I am interested, whether there is an analytical expression for the relative frequencies
$\small (3) \qquad r_w(n,k) = a_{n,k} / w $
in the limit.

Empirically (using the first 600000 primes in formula (1)) I found approximations to rational values for the relative frequencies of the primefactors q in formula (2) giving a somehow meaningful table, where, after scaling near to integers, for small primes the error was in the near of 1/1000 . However, I cannot determine, whether the deviations from my estimated analytical formula are random and vanishing in the limit or keep a bias. Especially the primefactor q=2 in the formula (2) seems to have a bias which might survive in the limit.

Here is the table. The entries $\small e_{n,q}$ give the rounded empirical frequencies $\small e_{n,q} \approx a_{n,k}/w \cdot (q-1)^2 $

$\small \qquad \begin{array} {r|rrrrrrrrrrrr} n&2&3&5&7&11&13&17&19&23& (\ldots \text{ primefactor }q)\\\ \hline \\\ 1&2&3&5&7&11&13&17&19&23 \\\ 2&4&6&10&14&22&26&34&38&46 \\\ 3&2&5&5&21&11&39&17&57&23 \\\ 4&5&6&20&14&22&52&68&38&46 \\\ 5&2&3&9&7&55&13&17&19&23 \\\ 6&4&10&10&42&22&78&34&114&46 \\\ 7&2&3&5&13&11&13&17&19&23 \\\ 8&6&6&20&14&22&52&136&38&46 \\\ 9&2&7&5&21&11&39&17&171&23 \\\ 10&4&6&18&14&110&26&34&38&46 \\\ 11&2&3&5&7&21&13&17&19&253 \\\ 12&5&10&20&42&22&156&68&114&46 \\\ 13&2&3&5&7&11&25&17&19&23 \\\ 14&4&6&10&26&22&26&34&38&46 \\\ 15&2&5&9&21&55&39&17&57&23 \\\ 16&7&6&20&14&22&52&272&38&46 \\\ 17&2&3&5&7&11&13&33&19&23 \\\ 18&4&14&10&42&22&78&34&342&46 \end{array} $

The heuristical formula that I extrapolated for w going to infinity has two forms:

if q=2 and n is even (simultaneously):
$\small \qquad e_{n,2} = (3 + \operatorname{val}( n,2 ) ) $
where the function val(n,q) means: the exponent, to which primefactor q occurs in n

For all other cases
$\small \qquad e_{n,q} = \gcd(n,q-1) \cdot (q + (q-1)\cdot \operatorname{val}(n,q) ) $

Then
$\small \qquad \displaystyle a_{n,q} = { e_{n,q} \cdot w \over (q-1)^2 } $

Can the guessed formula be confirmed by an analytical argument?
