Formule
n is perfect if σ(n) = 2n, where σ(n) is sum of all divisors
- n
- the number being tested
- σ(n)
- sum of all divisors of n (including n) (integer)
Guide étape par étape
- 1Sum all divisors except n itself
- 26: 1+2+3 = 6 ✓
- 328: 1+2+4+7+14 = 28 ✓
- 4Abundant: divisor sum > n; Deficient: divisor sum < n
Exemples résolus
Entrée
n = 28
Résultat
Divisors 1,2,4,7,14 — Sum = 28 (Perfect!)
Entrée
n = 12
Résultat
Divisors 1,2,3,4,6 — Sum = 16 > 12 (Abundant)
