Some people, as one of other answer, refer to all 15. Some only count 12. The reason is because of enharmonic scales. Example: F#/Gb, B/Cb, and C#/Db. They have different note names, but are the same pitches.

Around the circle of fifths it goes: 1)C, 2)G, 3)D, 4)A, 5)E, 6)B, 7)Gb 8)F# 9)Db 10)C# 11)Ab 12)G# 13)Eb 14)Bb 15)F.

Gb/F#, Db/C#, and Ab/G# are actually the same notes on the piano (this is called "enharmonic," one note having two names). Thus though there are only 12 actual major scales, some people say there are 15 because three of them go by two different names.

Here you go, good luck!

C Major

C D E F G A B C

G Major

G A B C D E F# G

F Major

F G A Bb C D E F

D Major

D E F# G A B C# D

Bb Major

Gb Major

Gb Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F Gb

C# Major

C# D# E# F# G# A# B# C#

Cb Major

Cb Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb Cb

Scales with Flats:
F, with Bb
Bb, with Bb and Eb
Eb, with Bb, Eb, and Ab
Ab, with Bb, Eb, Ab and Db
Db, with Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb
Gb, with Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, and Cb
Cb with Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, and Fb

Scales with Sharps:
G, with F#
D, with F# and C#
A, with F#, C#, and G#
E, with F#, C#, G#, and D#
B, with F#, C#, G#, D#, and A#
F#, with F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, and E#
C# with F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, and B#

Natural Scale:
C with..........nothing

However, three of the scales overlap on the circle of fourths/fifths....those would be-

Db = C#
Gb = F#
Cb = B

These scales are called "enharmonics." They are played, and sound the same, but they are played differently.

I hope i helped you with your scales....
