Check Amicable Pair

/**
 * @file
 * @brief A C++ Program to check whether a pair of numbers is an [amicable
 * pair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amicable_numbers) or not.
 *
 * @details
 * An Amicable Pair is two positive integers such that the sum of the proper
 * divisor for each number is equal to the other number.
 *
 * @note Remember that a proper divisor is any positive whole number that
 * divides into a selected number, apart from the selected number itself, and
 * returns a positive integer. for example 1, 2 and  5 are all proper divisors
 * of 10.
