According to the Bohr's postulate of angular momentum,

mvr=\frac{nh}{2\pi} 

which can be written as:   2\pi r=\frac{nh}{mv}.....................................(1)

Then according to de Broglie's equation for wavelength, 

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}                                                                     ......................................(2)

Now, substituting the values of equation (2) in equation (1) we get,

2\pi r = n\lambda

Thus, the circumference of the Bohr's orbit for the hydrogen atom is an integral multiple of de Broglie's wavelength associated with the electron revolving around the orbit.
