I coded up a program in C# to find perfect numbers within a certain range as part of a programming challenge . However, I realized it is very slow when calculating perfect numbers upwards of 10000. Are there any methods of optimization that exist for finding perfect numbers? My code is as follows:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

namespace ConsoleTest
{
 class Program
 {
  public static List<int> FindDivisors(int inputNo)
  {
   List<int> Divisors = new List<int>();
   for (int i = 1; i<inputNo; i++)
   {
    if (inputNo%i==0)
     Divisors.Add(i);
   }
   return Divisors;
  }

  public static void Main(string[] args)
  { 
   const int limit = 100000;

   List<int> PerfectNumbers = new List<int>();
   List<int> Divisors=new List<int>();
   for (int i=1; i<limit; i++)
   {
    Divisors = FindDivisors(i);
    if (i==Divisors.Sum())
     PerfectNumbers.Add(i);
   }

   Console.Write("Output =");

   for (int i=0; i<PerfectNumbers.Count; i++)
   {
    Console.Write(" {0} ",PerfectNumbers[i]);
   }

   Console.Write("\n\n\nPress any key to continue . . . ");
   Console.ReadKey(true);
  }
 }
}
