How to figure prime focus

Sorry for all the newbie questions.

Is there a way to figure out what magnification a particular scope is at prime focus?

My 10" has a focal length of 1270. So I know if I'm using a 4mm EP the magnification is 317.5x. However, if I'm using my web cam at prime focus, how do I know what magnification that is? Is there a way to figure this out?
