Five 5's

Can you make 5 5's into 37?

5 5 5 5 5 = 37.

What I'm looking for is something like this: 5+5*5-5/5=29, but the answer should be 37. Can you do it?

  1. This may have been a lousy hint. I should have said any math operators can be used...


    Possible solutions:
    (5!+5!)-55)/5 = (120+120-55)/5 = 185/5 = 37 or 5!/(5+5)+5*5 = 120/10 + 25 = 12 + 25 = 37

    ((5+5)/5)**5 + 5 = 37
