Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A composite number has factors in addition to one and itself. The numbers 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite. All even numbers are divisible by two and so all even numbers greater than two are composite numbers. All numbers that end in five are divisible by five. Therefore all numbers that end with five and are greater than five are composite numbers.
