Yes. The numerical representation of traditional time signatures is a pair of integers. But the "numerator" can be any integer. While the "denominator" can also be any integer, it doesn't really represent an integer. It represents a duration; a fraction of a whole note.
To make matters worse, there actually are composers who write something like "4/5 time". Thomas Adès would be an example.
