If I understand what you are asking, the number 5 is prime. The definition for a prime number is a number that has no factors other than itself and one. The prime factorization of 5 is 5 * 1. Since 5's factors are only itself and 1, that means that it is prime. The definition of a composite number is a number that has at least one divisor other than one and itself. This means that a number cannot be both prime and composite.
