All numbers with only one number

You want to express numbers with only one number and certain operations. As an example, let us say you have addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division (and you are allowed to use parenthesis). And you only have five numbers 2 available. You can express the numbers 1 to 10 in the following way:

Your task is to do the same, but instead of number 2, use number 5, i.e. express numbers 1 to 10 with exactly five numbers 5 and combining them with four allowed operations: addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. You are also allowed to use parentheses.

BONUS: Can you do it also for the number 23?

The best solution gets a token of appreciation...

I see that 1 through 10 have been solved, but not 23 = (5 X 5)-((5 + 5)/5)

@windinhishair I took the question to be getting the numbers 1 to 10 using exactly 5 23's.

@CopperCicada I took it the other way. I can see how you read it the way you did and that is probably correct.

@windinhishair congratulations for 23, and apologies if it was a bit ambiguous for some, I meant how do you express 23 with five 5s. But it would be probably a challenge also for five 23s :). I have a computer program that does that for me, so I can tell you the results tomorrow :)
