Just read this wiki. There are three easy methods: sum all the number's proper divisors (those with modulus equal to zero) and check if it matches the number; generate one perfect number after another with the given formula until you go beyond the number; check if the bit pattern corresponds to that of a perfect number (the pattern is given in the wiki too).

#include <cmath>
for that mathematical functions in C++. However, for any of the three methods, there is no need for any mathematical function, just basic arithmetic operators will do.
