Repetition - Constantly saying the same thing again and again or jotting information down is a common way for most people. However, this method for memorization can be used for any type of knowledge and is not restricted to mere numbers.

Thinking In Pictures - Thinking in pictures is a great way to remember details, and it is the way that most people with photographic memories recall details.
It is common to use the image of a candle to symbolize number one, and the hand to symbolize the number five as a hand commonly has five fingers. As a memorization technique, thinking in pictures is an effective way to remember details, and is especially useful for addresses and phone numbers. Create A Story - Imagining a story is a great way to help you retain complicated details. To aid you in these methods, visualize a man going to the local grocer to buy a loaf of bread.
He replays the word bread continuously in his mind but upon reaching the store, he cannp0t recall the specific aisle to locate the bread. He shows one of the shop assistants a picture of bread, and then proceeds to tell them a story about the first loaf of bread ever made. Though this example doesn't contain any difficult information, this memorization technique can be used for difficult or hard to remember details, as it engages your brain, and therefore, your memory.
