The classical Mertens' formula states that $ \prod_{p\le N}\big(1-\frac1p)^{-1}\sim e^γ\log N, $ where the product is over all primes $p$ less than or equal to $N$, and $γ$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. By the Euler product formula, this is equivalent to either of the following statements: $$ \begin{aligned} &i. \lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\sum_{n:p|n\Rightarrow p\le N}\thinspace\frac1n}{\sum_{n\le N}\frac1n}=e^γ \ &ii. \sum_{n:p|n\Rightarrow p\le N}\thinspace\frac1n\sim e^γ\log N. \end{aligned} $$ Via some random integer constructions and a criterion for weak convergence of distributions to so-called generalized Dickman distributions, we obtain some generalized Mertens' formulas, some of which are new and some of which have been proved using number-theoretic tools. For example, in the spirit of (i), we show that if $A$ is a subset of the primes which has natural density $θ\in(0,1]$ with respect to the set of all primes, then $$ \lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\sum_{n:p|n\Rightarrow p\le N\thinspace\text{and}\thinspace p\in A}\frac1n} {\sum_{n\le N:p|n\Rightarrow p\in A}\frac1n}=e^{γθ}Γ(θ+1), $$ and also, for any $k\ge2$, $$ \lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{\sum^{'(k)}_{n:p|n\Rightarrow p\le N\thinspace\text{and}\thinspace p\in A}\frac1n} {\sum^{'(k)}_{n\le N:p|n\Rightarrow p\in A}\frac1n}=e^{γθ}Γ(θ+1), $$ where $\sum^{'(k)}$ denotes that the summation is restricted to $k$-free positive integers. In the spirit of (ii), we show for example that $ \sum^{'(k)}_{n:p|n\Rightarrow p\le N}\frac1{n_{\{(k-1)-\text{free}\}}φ(n_{\{(k-1)-\text{power}\}})}\sim e^γ\log N, $ where $φ$ is the Euler totient function, and $n_{\{(k-1)-\text{free}\}}$ and $n_{\{(k-1)-\text{power}\}}$ are the $(k-1)$-free part and the $(k-1)$-power part of $n$.
