Circle Fitting

I have some (x,y) co-ordinates which follow a curve. How would I fit a best-fit circle to this? I would like to know the best-fit radius and origin of the circle.

instead a lot of people seem to use coding in mathematical programs to help

Sorry if i lead you in the wrong direction
