Position the first circle at the top center of the donut. Select Enable Transform Origin and position the Transform Origin point on the center of the donut.
Now press the Enter key. Activate Duplicate. Set the degree of rotation and then select the number of copies so that all circles have the same spacing.

Note that you can let the Move data entry Rotate field do the math for you if you want. So for 38 small circles just enter 360/38 in the Rotate field. When you leave that field it will show 9.5* but that is just do to rounding in the display. It actually is the ~9.473684° angle needed for perfect distribution.

@Jose Antonio jimenez, you may also want to consider making the 1st small circle a Symbol like in this 38 symbols.afdesign example. If you do that you can do things like going back at any time & changing the size or color of all of them in one step.
