By looking at the key signature and the sharp or flat. If the sharp top sharp is on the F then It most likely is the G scale because G is one note higher than the sharp.

No Sharps or Flats = C Major or A minor

1 Sharp = G Major or E minor
2 Sharps = D Major or B minor
3 Sharps = A Major or F# minor
4 Sharps = E major or C# minor
5 Sharps = B Major or G# minor
6 Sharps = F# Major or D# minor
7 Sharps = C# Major or A# minor

1 Flat = F Major or D minor
2 Flats = B-flat Major or G minor
3 Flats = E-flat Major or C minor
4 Flats = A-flat Major or F minor
5 Flats = D-flat Major or B-flat minor
6 Flats = G-flat Major or E-flat minor
7 Flats = C-flat Major or A-flat minor


5 Sharps is the same as 7 Flats

5 Flats is the same as 7 Sharps
