If this is asking about how often 40 is used in The Bible, it was not used because 40 is easier to remember than say 30 or 50, but because it is easier to remember round numbers like 40 than uneven numbers like 43 or 48.

The number 40 has significance, but it doesn't specifically symbolize any one thing. It is written with the Hebrew letter mem (מ) and it has the following significances:The flood was 40 days and 40 nights.The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years.Moshe (Moses) was up on Mt. Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights.Jewish tradition holds that a baby is not physically male or female until forty days after the woman becomes pregnant.
To the Hebrew mind, numbers have more significance than just the value we would ascribe to them. Each number is linked to a letter in the Hebrew Alphabet, and each number / letter has a particular symbolism. I don't have my reference material on hand right now, but from memory the number 40 is a combination of 4 and 10. These numbers both refer to completion, fullness and perfection. So when you see 40 days and 40 nights (or 40 years), it will most often be speaking of a particular event (eg. The Flood and Noah's Ark, raining for 40 days and 40 nights would be understood as raining until the whole earth was flooded)
