Pi is the ratio between the circumference and the diameter (the diameter is 2 times the radius) of a circle. The calculation of pi is a popular way of evaluating the computational power of supercomputers, and mathematicians now know that there are approximately 10 trillion digits of pi. The world-record holder can read tens of thousands of digits, and neurosurgeon and professor Andriy Slyusarchuk claims to remember 30 million digits, which takes 347 days of continuous reading. Impressive!

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Group of Digits

1. 

   Create a chart. Write down the number pi according to how many digits you hope to memorize. After you write them down, group the numbers in even groups using a pencil in parentheses.
   • Start with four-digit groups: (3,141) (5926) (5358) (9793) (2384) (6264) (3383),…

2. 

   
   
   Start step by step. The easiest way to remember anything is to start with a small group then move on. Like with weightlifting or sprinting, you have sets and reps, and you don't want to overdo it by trying to stuff 100 numbers in your head at once.
   • Begin by memorizing four groups of four digits. You can progress up to ten four-digit groups, remembering only one additional four-digit group at a time. Then double it up by memorizing five groups of eight digits. The number of digits remains the same, but you will be able to improve your memory by including larger "groups".

3. 

   
   
   Memorizes the first occurrence of the numbers 0-9. This will help you remember which number will appear next if you need to quote pi. For example, you can remember that the first number after the comma is 1, and the 32nd number after the comma is 0.

4. 

   Try to group numbers by phone number series. Most memory or "reminder" skills work on the principle of remembering other things, like a phone number, than a complicated sequence of numbers. If you move up the pi groups into ten-digit groups, you can organize them into easy-to-remember phone numbers: Hoa (314) 159-2653, Linh (589) 793-2384, Nga ( 626) 433-8327, ...
   • Name them alphabetically to make sure after memorizing the first 260 digits you can go back and complete the "directory."

5. 

   
   
   Include details to coordinate the list. This is how professionals can not only remember the numbers in order, but also actively cite a definite group of numbers. Try using a name with the number of letters that corresponds to the first number in the range: English (314) 159-2653.
   • Try using real names and associating real events with names on a list, or even make up something about each person.The more closely you associate the numbers with the list of names in mind, the easier it is to remember the numbers.
   • You can also combine this technique with the large system and the linkage technique given below.

6. 

   Keep these groups on the memory card. Carry the memory card with you during the day and try to recite it. As you can naturally recite each group, continue to include other groups until you reach your goal. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Use Alternate Words and Sounds

1. 

   Write sentences in "pi style"."In pi style, the number of letters in each word represents the corresponding digit in pi. For example," Leg pain "= 314 in pi style. In 1996, Mike Keith wrote a short story name is "Cadaeic Cadenza" in which about 3800 digits of pi are encoded. Keith also developed a method that uses words longer than 10 letters to represent a sequence of numbers.

2. 

   Write poetry in pi style. Pi is a poem that encodes the number of pi in its words using the pi-style method. They are typically rhyming for memorization purposes and have a three-letter title, representing the number 3 in the first place of the pi number.
   • A pi poem: "Now I will rhyme, / By number of words, guided. / Try to be creative, / Come out and remember. / Width in circle, / Appear in a cloud."

3. 

   Sow rhymes to remember. Many of the school's recall skills have evolved over the years to help memorize the first digits of pi: "cosine, check, tang, sin / Three dots one four one year nine." This method of recall is based on the use of rhymes and repeating patterns to recall memorized numbers.
   • Many other memo songs use the same technique: "If numbers have heaven / They must have gods / 3.14159 / 26535."
   • The ABC tune, also known as "Baa-Baa Black Sheep," or "Sparkling Little Star": 3 1 4 1 5 9 2/6 5 3 5 8 9/7 9 3 2 3 8 4/6 2 6 4 3 3 8/3 2 7 9 5 0 2/8 8 4 1 9 7 1
   • Try writing a good song that rhymes to help you remember ..

4. 

   Try learning the big system. Variant of the massive system used by some of the world's best rememberers. This extraordinarily complex technique involves replacing each digit or group of digits with a phonetically similar match, and ultimately building up a story or a series of connections from those words. advertisement

Advice

• Memorize the number in the cluster instead of one number at a time.
• It can be helpful to think about the numbers in your mind before you go to bed or get in the car.
• Putting a little bit of rhythm into the number makes it easier to remember it.
• Write down a little memory stick and whenever you sit down, take it out and memorize a little more.
• Set goals and (if possible) exceed the plan.
• Choose a song you know and beat the digits of pi with it.
