This document discusses ways to check if a number is a perfect number in Python. It defines a perfect number as one where the sum of its positive divisors (excluding the number itself) equals the number. Two methods are presented: 1) excluding the number as a factor, and 2) including it. Examples are provided testing numbers 6, 21, and 28. The document also provides sample code execution and lists prerequisites of loops and arithmetic operators. The objective is to understand if-else constructs.
