@ConorOBrien-Foxx Oh hi. You know me from PPCG.

You see, according to the quote in five.js and several other sources from within this project,

The Law of Fives states simply that: All things happen in fives, or are divisible by or are multiples of five, or are somehow directly or indirectly appropriate to 5. The Law of Fives is never wrong.

But the code used a string. And the number three! What is this madness? The number three and strings don't exist!

@CrazyPython I like this one. You need to resolve conflicts though :D

I think it would be nicer (although a fair amount of work to get all the factors and reduce them to 5) if you did all your five() operations to get 63831138618483480626224464280204646402, and then convert it to base 16.

Should update all the bases too.
