Our working memory (which is temporary and is an early step of memory consolidation) can only hold about 5-9 items (words, numbers, etc.) If we learn the 7 numbers over and over again, then they are sent to our long-term declarative memory, and thus remembered. This is why we can remember our phone number easily, but 7 random digits are harder.

Why are viral infections more difficult to treat than bacterial infections?

That is a difficult one. It depends on the virus and the bacteria. Most viruses cause self-limiting diseases, that are treated with supportive measurements. Other viruses, such as Influenza, Cytomegalovirus and Herpes, and HIV, can be treated with specific drugs. There are different drugs that treat different types of bacteria, with more or less success. But remember that viruses and bacteria are live organisms, and they can and do develop resistance to the drugs that kill them. Even more, bacteria can even pass on the learned resistance to other bacteria.
