I assume that, we know the center C(a,b) and the radius (r) of the circle under consideration.

Let the given point be P(x,y)

Now calculate the distance D(C,P)

If D(C,P) == r, the point lies on the circle
If D(C,P) > r, the point lies outside the cirlce
If D(C,P) < r, the point lies inside the circle

a bit of optimization (also from school):
compare distance^2 with radius^2
