Starting with the key of C Major - no sharps and flats, go up a perfect 5th (P5) and play a major scale starting on a G (P5 above C). Following the formula for major scales you will find that the scale contains only one sharp - F#.
Go down a P5 and your scale will start on the note F. Following the same formula for the major scale starting on F, you will find that the only flat is a Bb.
Now, if you follow the almighty Circle of 5ths - Ascending, you will find that you will add sharps in the following order: F# C# G# D# E# A# B#
Following the Circle of 5th -, Descending, you will find that you will add flats in the following order Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb Fb.
