The easiest way is to consult a circle of fifths. As a band director, I require my students to keep one with them in their folder.

The second simple method is this. C has 0 flats, memorize that. Again, memorize that F has 1 flat.

Finally. After that, the name of the key signature will be the penultimate flat (that is the second to the last flat in the key signature.)

As an example, if there are 4 flats in your key signature they are: Bb Eb Ab and Db. They will always be listed in that order. Ab is the penultimate, and thusly this would be the key of Ab.
