You will have to remember all above key numbers for months as they are. You must be finding it difficult to remember all these key numbers. But don’t worry I will share with you my method to remember them.

So, let’s get started… First of all I have divided all 12 months into 4 groups
as:
1st Group: January, February, March and April.
2nd Group: May, June, July and August.
3rd Group: September and October.
4th Group: November and December.

Now, we will take each group one by one.

1st Group:
January: It is always the 1st month of the year so it’s key number is 1
February: 4 letters in January & February are common i.e. “uary”. Therefore, key number for February is 4
March: Let’s say February & March are siblings as they always stick together.
So, March will also have the same key number as February i.e. 4
April: If we subtract key number of March from the key number of February, we will get the key number for April i.e. 4-4=0

2nd Group:
May: Now May is the first month of our 2nd group. So, its key number will be 2
June: June comes after 5th month (May). So, its key number will be 5...
July: June contains 4 letters and July also contains 4 letters. So, if we do
4-4, we get 0 i.e. the key number for July…
August: If we subtract key number of May (i.e. 2) from key number of June (i.e. 5), we will get key number for August i.e. 3 (5-2=3)…

3rd Group:
September: In Latin Septem means 7… We will subtract 1 from 7 and we get 6 i.e. key number for September…
October: In Latin Octo means 8… We will subtract Septem i.e. 7 from 8 and we get 1 i.e. key number for October…

4th Group:
November: November is the first member of our 4th group. So its key number will be 4...
December: In Latin Decem means 10. If we subtract key number for November i.e. 4 from 10 (Decem) we get 6 i.e. the key number for December (10-4=6)…

Simple… Isn't it…??? Go, through above steps again and see if you can remember these key numbers correctly… By the way, you must… :)

Anyway, this is the method I use to remember key numbers for months… You can develop your own and use it…!!
