Hello,
I'm trying to print out on the screen the the sum of a perfect number, and i can't quite figure it out how to code it. For example I now 6 is a perfect number so i need [ 6= 1+2+3 ] to print out on the screen. Any help would be much appreciated
Start by defining what a perfect number is. Is a perfect number one that equals the sum of it's factors other than itself? If so, then determine all the factors of the number, arrange them in ascending order, and add all but the largest one together. If that sum is the same as the largest factor (that is the same as the number itself) then the number is perfect.
Heres a link that gives you the formula you need

Oh ya, if you want to print out to the console, you need to use either printf, or include iostream and use cout <<
