    Perfect Numbers

    Perfect Numbers: Numbers that are equal to the sum of their proper divisors, excluding the number itself. Example: 28 (1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28).

    Understand Perfect Numbers: A perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors, excluding itself. For example, 6 is a perfect number because its proper divisors (excluding itself) are 1, 2, and 3, and 1+2+3=6.

    Steps to Check for Perfect Numbers:

    • Find all proper divisors of the number.
    • Sum these divisors.
    • Compare the sum to the original number to determine if they are equal.
