the total magnification is the magnification of the objective (10x/40x/100x usually, but can be something else) which is further magnified by the eye piece (typically 10x, but others exist).
so multiply the objective by the eye piece.

This can be easy or more difficult depending on how much information you have.
If you know the magnification power of the lens being used, then simply multiply this by the magnification power of the eyepiece. So if you are using the 100X lens and a 10X eyepiece, youir microscope is magnifying 1000X. It is interesting, perhaps, that these values from the manufacturer are estimates and are occasionally off by as much as 10%.
If you are given no information about the lenses, then you will some very precise measuring instruments and apply caclulations of angular separation (both real and apparent) and use a lot of trigonometry as best I can figure.

Magnification=ocular magnification × objective magnification

for microscope, the magnification is the product of the lateral magnification of the object, Mo and the angular magnification of the eyepiece, re thus;
M=-(di/fo)*(25/fe) ; di=image distance, fo=focal length of objective, fe=focal length of eyepiece

Magnification of a microscope is directly proportional to the resolution of the microscope and inversely proportional to the wave length of light used.

Simple answer: multiply the objective lens (the one facing your specimen) with the ocular lens (the one through which you look). Most ocular lenses are 10x. So, a 10x ocular multiplied with a 40x objective lens would be 400x

You don't have to calculate anything, the power is listed on the objective.
