Frequently Asked Java Program 28: Java Program to Find if Given Number Is a Perfect Number

Perfect Number:

A Perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors excluding the number itself.

For Example: Take Number 6. Its divisors are 1, 2 , 3 and 6. When we add all divisors except 6 ( as it is number itself) (i.e. 1+2+3= 6), it is equal to actual number. So we can say Number 6 is a perfect number.

The smallest perfect number is 6. Other perfect numbers are 28, 496, and 8,128.

Logic:

1. When we divide a number say X by other number say Y and reminder is zero, then number Y is a proper divisor. All proper divisor of a number X are between 1 and X/2. ( 1 and X/2 are included) . To find the proper divisor we need to divide the number by 1 to number/2.
2. We need to keep adding all divisors.

Java Program:

package StringPrograms;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class PerfectNumber {
        
        
        
        
        public static void perfectNumber(int userInput)
        {
                // Handling numbers less than or equal to zero
                if(userInput<=0)
                {
                        System.out.println("A perfect number must be positive and greater than zero. So kindly enter number greater than zero.");
                }
                else
                {
                        int sum =0;
                        // Iterating till half of the number
                        for(int i = 1; i<= userInput/2;i++)
                        {
                                // If number is divisible, add divisor.
                                if(userInput%i==0)
                                {
                                        sum = sum+i;
                                }
                        }
                        
                        // If sum is equal to number
                        if(userInput==sum)
                        {
                                System.out.println(userInput+" is a perfect number.");
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                System.out.println(userInput+" is not a perfect number.");
                        }
                }
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) {

                // User input for the number
                Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
                                
                
                System.out.println("Please enter the number to check for perfect number : ");

                int userInput = sc.nextInt();
                sc.close();

                System.out.println("You entered: " + userInput);
                

                perfectNumber(userInput);
                
                
                

        }
}

Output:

[java]
Please enter the number to check for perfect number :
6
You entered: 6
6 is a perfect number.
=====================================================
Please enter the number to check for perfect number :
1
You entered: 1
1 is not a perfect number.
====================================================
Please enter the number to check for perfect number :
-10
You entered: -10
A perfect number must be positive and greater than zero. So kindly enter number greater than zero.
======================================================
Please enter the number to check for perfect number :
10
You entered: 10
10 is not a perfect number.
