The main idea is that divisors come in pairs, and for each pair (d, n/d), if d is less than the square root of n, then d and n/d are both divisors of n. This approach allows us to only iterate up to the square root of n, making it more efficient.
Time Complexity: O(sqrt(n))
Space Complexity: O(1)

12}JavaScript uses the Math.sqrt and Math.floor functions to limit the checking of divisors. We iterate and accumulate sums of divisors, finally comparing the accumulated sum with the input.
This approach calculates the sum of all divisors excluding the number itself by checking each integer from 1 to n-1 to determine if it's a divisor, then sums these and checks if the sum equals n. This method is simple but inefficient for large numbers.

1def In Python, the simplicity of this method is evident as it loops through potential divisors, calculating their total and making a comparison against the input value.
