Magnification is the telescope focal length divided by the eyepiece focal length: 660 mm divided by 14 mm is 47x. The true field of view is the eyepiece's 72 degree apparent field divided by that magnification, 1.53 degrees.

The exit pupil, the width of the light beam leaving the eyepiece, is the aperture divided by the magnification, 102 mm over 47x, which is 2.2 mm. That makes this a medium-power general setting.
