If you want to range uniformly over the first N positive integers that are not divisible by 5 and you want n random samples, do this:
x = floor(5/4*randi([0,N-1],n,1)+1);

I have no idea what you actually want or what range the numbers have to be. The simplest way to do what you want is:
rv = [randi([1 4],1,50) randi([6 9],1,50)];

i do not think so, numbers between 0 and 1 can be divisible by 5.. for example 0.263215/5=.055256643 ??

Mustafa - No. The requirement was that mod(x,5) == 0. A floating point number as you show will not have that property.
