Can a L-shaped figure be divided into 5 congruent shapes?

Given a square, remove one quarter of it. Can the resulting L-shaped figure be divided into 5 congruent shapes? If not, how can we prove that fact?

I tried using circles, triangles and smaller squares, but could not find a solution. Is there a known general solution for any number of divisions, not just 5?
