Image result for The circle of fifths minors
The inside of the circle is the minor’s.

Each major has a relative minor so that means that however many sharps/flats are in that major key, that’s also how many sharps/flats are in the relative minor key. For example:

G major/E minor – 1 Sharp

D major/ B minor – 2 Sharps

A major/ F# minor – 3 Sharps

E major/ C# minor – 4 Sharps

B major/ G# minor – 5 Sharps

F# major/ D# minor – 6 Sharps

Then going anti-clockwise:

F major/ D minor – 1 Flat

Bb major/ G minor – 2 Flats

Eb major/ C minor – 3 Flats

Ab major/ F minor – 4 Flats

Db major/ A# minor – 5 Flats

Gb major/ D# minor – 6 Flats
