For the sharp major keys you go up one half step from the last sharp.
For the Flat major keys you go one flat back from the last flat.
To find the realative minor you start at the top of any major scale and go down 3 notes in that scale always counting the top note as 1.

∙ 12y agoThe flat of a note is the note one half step below it. On a piano, choose a note and the key one key to the left of it is its flat. It is usually a black key, (Gb Ab Bb Db and Eb are all black), but Fb is a white key (E natural) as well as Cb (B natural)

∙ 10y agoThere is no substitute for practice, and with time the keys with flats will become second nature. In standard western musics, the flats are always added in the same order. First there is B flat, and most people find it easy to remember that with a signature of just B flat, the piece is in F major or its relative, D minor. The first 4 flats in order are B, E, A and D. They are easy to remember, and the last three are G, C and F. You can make up your own mnemonic if you need to: Give Chopin Five, Go Cuddle Fido, or whatever.
When you look at a signature with flats, look for the flat that goes on the signature next-to-last. You can see the order in the way they are positioned; they're not just crammed into one vertical line. If there are two flats, B flat and E flat, the next-to-last one is B flat. That means that B flat, or its relative G minor, is the key. If there are 4 flats, then the key will be A flat or F minor. If someone asks what is the signature of, say, E flat, go through the flats in order, and go one past the key in question: B flat, E flat, A flat. Those 3 flats are the signature for E flat major.
If someone gets tricky and asks you about the flats in the signature of a minor key, first go to the relative major, a minor third up. Then determine the signature for that key. If someone is not only tricky but also diabolical, you might be asked "What are the flats in the signature of B minor? When you go a minor third up you will see that you are on D, a key which has a signature in sharps, not flats.

A major key sounds more bright and cheerful than a dark, evil minor key signature. There are 12 major key signatures (C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, B, E, A, D, and G). To identify whether a piece is minor, look at the key signature. If the name of the key signature is the name of the last note, then you are in a major key signature. If it is not, chances are you are in a minor key signature.
