Numbers that you use constantly you'll remember.
Ex. University student numbers: I write it down on every damn assignment and test, so it sticks after a while. Yeah, the first few times I had to take out my student card, but after a while, it was just ingrained. Same for my RCM (Piano exam thingy in Canada) and my SIN and other things. My library card I dont quite remember anymore because I havent been to the library in... years (lol) but back in the day when i was a kid and went weekly, it was memorized.
Then again, Im a person who has the first 33 digits of pi memorized and at one point had 100, so I'd definitely say use is relevant to whether you remember something or not.
