If one traveled along the circumference of the equator, he will go $40030$ $40030$ $k m$ $km$ - to the nearest kilometer.

Explanation:

Assuming questioner is referring to earth and its known radius is $6371$ $6371$ $k m$ $km$ and that it is a perfect circle at equator with this radius,

As circumference of a circle is given by $2 π r$ $2pir$

If one traveled along the circumference of the equator,

he will go $2 π \times 6371 = 2 \times 3.14159 \times 6371 = 40030.14$ $2pixx6371=2xx3.14159xx6371=40030.14$ $k m$ $km$ or to the nearest kilometer, it would be $40030$ $40030$ $k m$ $km$ .
