In most cases you can use the special settings on a chop saw, their use should be explained in the saw's manual, or any one of the several jigs sold to get the angles you need for cutting crown moldings without having to actually run the math. if you're a geometry wonk this site will take you through the math:

There are other sites also, Google "crown molding angles", with the quotes, to find them.
