As a matter of fact, no. Formula is not a way of writing an element. An element is written as it's abbreviation, like "k" for potassium. A formula describes different combinations of elements to create a new substance. Some examples are H2O for water, CO2 for carbon dioxide, and C15H31CO2C30H61 for beeswax, to name a few.
Chemical symbol is code for a chemical element. Chemical formula is way of expressing information.

Writing a chemical reaction with symbols: Ex.: NaCl + AgNO3 = AgCl (s) + NaNO3 A mathematical (digital) system for the writing of chemical equations exist but it is rarely used.
The molecular formula for iodine pentafluoride is IF5. No prefix in front of iodine is understood to be one, but mono- is not used for the first element in a binary covalent compount. The prefix penta- means five, so the subscript for fluoride is 5. Unfortunately, there is no way to write the 5 as a subscript.
