For an odd prime p 5, the structures of cyclic codes of length 5p s over R = F p m + uF p m (u 2 = 0) are completely determined. Cyclic codes of length 5p s over R are considered in 3 cases, namely, p ≡ 1 (mod 5), p ≡ 4 (mod 5), p ≡ 2 or 3 (mod 5). When p ≡ 1 (mod 5), a cyclic code of length 5p s over R can be expressed as a direct sum of a cyclic code and γ p s i-constacyclic codes of length p s over R, where γ p s i = − i(p m −1)p s 10 , i = 1, 3, 7, 9. When p ≡ 4 (mod 5), it is equivalent to p m ≡ 1 (mod 5) when m is even and p m ≡ 4 (mod 5) when m is odd. If p m ≡ 1 (mod 5) when m is even, then a cyclic code of length 5p s over R can be obtained as a direct sum of a cyclic code and γ p s i-constacyclic codes of length p s over R, where γ p s i = − i(p m −1)p s 10 , i = 1, 3, 7, 9. If p m ≡ 4 (mod 5) when m is odd, then a cyclic code of length 5p s over R can be expressed as a direct sum of a cyclic code of length p s over R and an α 1 and α 2-constacyclic code of length 2p s over R, for some α 1 , α 2 ∈ F p m {0}. If p ≡ 2 or 3 (mod 5) such that p m 1 (mod 5), then a cyclic code of length 5p s over R can be expressed as C 1 ⊕ C 2 , where C 1 is an ideal of R[x] ⟨x p s −1⟩ and C 2 is an ideal of R[x] ⟨(x 4 +x 3 +x 2 +x+1) p s ⟩. We also investigate all ideals of R[x] ⟨(x 4 +x 3 +x 2 +x+1) p s ⟩ to study detail structure of a cyclic code of length 5p s over R. In addition, dual codes of all cyclic codes of length 5p s over R are also given. Furthermore, we give the number of codewords in each of those cyclic codes of length 5p s over R. As cyclic and negacyclic codes of length 5p s over R are in a one-by-one equivalent via the ring isomorphism x → −x, all our results for cyclic codes hold true accordingly to negacyclic codes.
