5 is the value of the central cell of the first non-trivial normal magic square, called the Luoshu square. 5 is also the first of three known Wilson primes (5, 13, 563), [14] where the square of a prime divides As a consequence of Fermat's little theorem and Euler's criterion, all squares are congruent to 0, 1, 4 (or −1) modulo 5.

In the quinary place system, five numerals, from 0 to 4, are used to represent any real number. According to this method, five is written as 10, twenty-five is written as ...
