    I then need to print out just the "1" and on a separate line the "5".
    Are you trying to get the first letter and the last letter from a String?
    Look at using the String class's substring method. It will allow you to get any character in a String.

    If you are working with an int value you will need to use division (/) and modulus/remainder(% ) operators.
    If you're not sure how they work, write a small simple program, use one of the operators and print out the results. Do it for many different values to see what happens. For exampl:
    int x = 10;
    System.out.println("div by 4=" + (x/4)); // show results when divided by 4
    System.out.println("rem for 4" + (x%4)) ; // show results with modulus operator

    Change the 4 and the 10 to many different values

    Next step in posting code is to properly indent. The code in each nesting level of {} should be indented.
    Something like this:
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Number
    {
       public static void main(String[] args)
       {
     
          Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
     
          System.out.printf("Enter a 5 Digit Number: ");
     
          int Number = input.nextInt();
     
           ...
     
       } // end main()
     
    } // end class
