Which religion spread the farthest Hinduism or Buddhism?
Hinduism is more populous, but Buddhism is found in more different places and practiced by more diverse groups of people.It is important to note here, the difference between active proselytizing and passive spreading. In the case of Hinduism, the religion has not been actively proselytized outside of India for nearly 1500 years. That Hinduism has spread outside of India (to far off places like Fiji or Guyana) is because the British Empire transported Indians outside of India. There are more Hindus than Buddhists because India is more populous than all Buddhist majority countries combined. Conversely, Buddhism actively proselytized and converted vast swathes of people in different countries and continues to try converting others. In fact, most places outside of India that were once Hindu-majority as a result of Hindu proselytism became Buddhist-majority through Buddhist proselytism.

Hinduism has always been there in India. Jainism and Buddhism started as sects of Hinduism. Later they became more popular for some time. Their emergence as separate religions was much later. Hinduism regained its prominence during the reign of the Gupta emperors (320 to 550 CE). Another person who made a major difference was Adi Sankaracharya (the first Sankaracharya, 8th Century) in strengthening Hindu philosophy (Advaita - nonduality).
