Since
x 5 + y 5 = ( x + y ) ( x 4 − x 3 y + x 2 y 2 − x y 3 + y 4 )
We just substitute x = 4 1 0 9 and y = 5 4 5 , hence it is proved that the number above is NOT prime.
Same approach here :)
Of course, the answer is not yes, so it must be no.
You guess it is not yes. But how can you be sure?

Consider the problem modulo 3. Since 4 ≡ 1 and 5 4 5 ≡ 2 mod 3, we have 4 5 4 5 + 5 4 5 5 ≡ 1 5 4 5 + 2 5 ≡ 1 + 2 ≡ 0 mod 3 so that this sum is divisible by 3. Since it is also greater than 3, it is therefore not prime.
