Number 5 — Five

The number 5 is written with one or two Western digits from the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. It is odd and prime. Its positive divisors are 1, 5. Additional properties include being a Fibonacci number. These mathematical properties are verifiable; religious, esoteric, and numerological readings depend on a particular tradition and are not properties of the number itself. Numerological reading: the number is associated with freedom, change, and the five elements. In a talismanic or meditative composition it may express an intention to focus on these qualities; meanings vary by school and context.
