You need to multiply the diameter by C = Pi x diameter
For your particular query, of a 4-inch diameter circle, it is approximately 12.56 (using pi as 3.14) for the circumference, or distance around the circle. Using a more precise value for pi, it is closer to 12.57 (12.566).

Given a circle with a diameter of 4, the circumference is: 12.6 (diameter x Pi = circumference).
The circumference of a circle is the diameter times pi (3.141) so therefore a 4 meter circumference circle has a diameter of 1.273 m E.g. 4 / 3.141 = 1.273
The circumference of a 4 foot circle is: 12.57 feet(diameter x pi = circumference).
the equation for the circumference of a circle is 2*radius*pi, or since the radius is half of the diameter 2*radius=diameter, we can simplify the equation to the circumference of a circle=diameter*pi
Circumference of circle: 4 times pi in inches
