Oh, dude, a perfect number is when all the factors of a number, excluding the number itself, add up to the number. So, like, for 56, the factors are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, and 28. If you add those up, you get 56. So, yeah, 56 is a perfect number. Cool, right?

No, 56 is not a perfect number. A perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors, excluding itself. The proper divisors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, and 28. The sum of these divisors is 64, which is not equal to 56.
