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:

1^st Group: January, February, March and April.

2^nd Group: May, June, July and August.

3^rd Group: September and October.

4^th Group: November and December.

Now, we will take each group one by one.

1^st Group:

January: It is always the 1^st 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…

2^nd Group:

May: Now May is the first month of our 2^nd group. So, its key number will be 2…

June: June comes after 5^th 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)…

3^rd 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…

4^th Group:

November: November is the first member of our 4^th 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…!!
