Let $Q$ be a set of prime numbers, not necessarily finite. For a positive integer $n$ consider its prime factorization: define $p(n)$ to be the sum of all the exponents and $q(n)$ to be the sum of the exponents corresponding only to primes in $Q$.

Let \( a_1 \) be an integer greater than or equal to 2. Consider the sequence such that its first term is \( a_1 \), and for \( a_n \), the \( n \)-th term of the sequence, we have \[ a_{n+1} = \frac{a_n}{p_k^{e_k - 1}} + 1, \] where \( p_1^{e_1} p_2^{e_2} \cdots p_k^{e_k} \) is the prime factorization of \( a_n \), with \( 1 < p_1 < p_2 < \cdots < p_k \), and \( e_1, e_2, \dots, e_k \) positive integers. For example, if \( a_1 = 2024 = 2^3 \cdot 11 \cdot 23 \), the next two terms of the sequence are \[ a_2 = \frac{a_1}{23^{1-1}} + 1 = \frac{2024}{1} + 1 = 2025 = 3^4 \cdot 5^2; \] \[ a_3 = \frac{a_2}{5^{2-1}} + 1 = \frac{2025}{5} + 1 = 406. \] Determine for which values of \( a_1 \) the sequence is eventually periodic and what all the possible periods are.
