Equation to find when a number is a multiple of 5?

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/604141334
It is the second to last sprite that has the need for the equation. I have tried finding an equation for the past 20 minutes but have been unable to.

Equation to find when a number is a multiple of 5?

This is one possibility:
if <((number) mod [5]) = [0] > then

end

This is another possibility:
if <<(letter (length of (number)) of (number)) = [5]> or <(letter (length of (number)) of (number)) = [0]>> then 



else

end
But the option above is much simpler.

For whole numbers only - so you'd have to check that as well unless you knew it was the case. The mod function is the better option.
