In mathematics, a perfect number is defined as an integer which is the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the sum of the positive divisors not including the number. Equivalently, a perfect number is a number that is half the sum of all of its positive divisors, or σ(n) = 2 n.

Six (6) is the first perfect number, because 1, 2 and 3 are its proper positive divisors and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. The next perfect number is 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14. The next perfect numbers are 496 and 8128 .

These first four perfect numbers were the only ones known to the ancient Greeks.

The look on the face of the micromanaging CEO's when the replenishment numbers are within 0.07% of perfect. Priceless. Nothing for him to do

@dumdidav @e_ting I didn't know there was an "official" Christmas dinner bird. Goose is perfect for smaller numbers.
