"Beş fil"

Translation: Five elephants

[ultimotango]

so if we use numbers to accompany a noun - with the exception of number one the noun stays in singular?Would it be correct to say "Beş filler"? Or completely incorrect?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It is completely incorrect. If you have a number, there is never the plural marker. :)
