== Perfect Number ==
In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of
its positive divisors, excluding the number itself.
For example: 6 ==> divisors[1, 2, 3, 6]
    Excluding 6, the sum(divisors) is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
    So, 6 is a Perfect Number

Other examples of Perfect Numbers: 28, 486, ...

    Check if a number is a perfect number.

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

    Args:
        number: The number to be checked.

    Returns:
        True if the number is a perfect number otherwise, False.
    Start from 1 because dividing by 0 will raise ZeroDivisionError.
    A number at most can be divisible by the half of the number except the number
    itself. For example, 6 is at most can be divisible by 3 except by 6 itself.
    Examples:
    >>> perfect(27)
    False
    >>> perfect(28)
    True
    >>> perfect(29)
    False
    >>> perfect(6)
    True
    >>> perfect(12)
    False
    >>> perfect(496)
    True
    >>> perfect(8128)
    True
    >>> perfect(0)
    False
    >>> perfect(-1)
    False
