All piano scales are built on two identical 3-note segments, plus 1 note.
That 1 note is either in the middle of the scale (4th), or the top of the scale (7th).

of the two black keys and F major – C, Db, D, Eb, E, F – have similar
characteristics and all the scales in the area of the three black keys —
G, Ab, A, Bb, B – have similar characteristics and Gb (F#) is different.
