In this post, we will write the Perfect number program in C. We will also write a program to check the perfect number in a given range.

Perfect number:- A number whose factors sum, except itself equals the same number.

Example:- 6
Factors of 6 (except itself) are 1,2,3.
The Sum of these factors 1+2+3 = 6 So, 6 is a Perfect number.

Another example:- 28
Factors of 28 (except itself) are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14
The sum of factors of 28 = 1+2+4+7+14 = 28
Hence, 28 is also a perfect number.

The perfect number program is based on finding the factors of a number. If you don’t know how to find factors of a number using the C program then learn it first.

C program to Check Perfect Number

 #include<stdio.h>
 int main()
 {
     int num, sum=0;

     printf("Enter Number: ");
     scanf("%d",&num);

     for(int i=1; i<=num/2; i++)
     {
         if(num%i==0)
             sum+=i;
     }

     if( sum==num )
         printf("%d is a perfect number.\n",num);
     else
         printf("%d is not a perfect number.\n",num);

     return 0;
 }

Output:-

Enter Number: 6
6 is a perfect number.

Enter Number: 10
10 is not a perfect number.

Enter Number: 28
28 is a perfect number.

The same problem also can be done using while loop.

C program to check Perfect Number in a given Range

 #include<stdio.h>
 int main()
 {
     int min, max, sum;

     printf("Enter min and max value of the range: ");
     scanf("%d %d", &min, &max);

     printf("Perfect numbers in the given range are: \n");

     for(int i=min; i<=max; i++)
     {
         sum=0;
         for(int j=1; j<=i/2; j++)
         {
             if(i%j==0)
                 sum+=j;
         }
         if(i==sum) printf("%d\t",i);
     }

     return 0;
 }

Output:-

Enter min and max value of the range: 1 100
Perfect numbers in the given range are:
6 28

Enter min and max value of the range: 100 10000
Perfect numbers in the given range are:
496 8128

C program to find the perfect number using the Function

A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. For example, the main is a function and every program execution starts from the main function in C programming.

The function is a small program is used to do a particular task. In C a big program divided into several small subroutines/functions/procedures. Hence C is a function-oriented programming language.

Function to check perfect number

 int checkPerfect(int number)
 {
   int sum = 0;
   for(int i=1;i<=number/2;i++)
   {
       if(number%i==0)
           sum += i;
   }
   if( sum == number ) return 0;
   else return 1;
 }

Below program checks, the given number is a perfect number or not.

 #include<stdio.h>
 int checkPerfect(int number)
 {
   int sum = 0;

   for(int i=1;i<=number/2;i++)
   {
       if(number%i==0)
           sum += i;
   }

   if( sum == number ) return 0;

   else return 1;
 }

 int main()
 {
     int number, sum=0;

     printf("Enter Number: ");
     scanf("%d",&number);

     if(checkPerfect(number) == 0)
     printf("%d is a perfect number.\n",number);
     else
     printf("%d is not a perfect number.\n",number);

     return 0;
 }

Output:-

Enter Number: 496
496 is a perfect number.

Enter Number: 500
500 is not a perfect number.

Using the checkPerfect() function we can also write a C program to find perfect number in a given range, try it yourself.
