How to compute the MD5 or SHA-1 cryptographic hash values for a file.
Quote

When you apply the hashing ALGORITHM to an arbitrary amount of data, such as a binary file, the result is a hash or a message digest. This hash has a fixed size. MD5 is a hashing algorithm that creates a 128-bit hash value. SHA-1 is a hashing algorithm that creates a 160-bit hash value.
...USE the File CHECKSUM Integrity Verifier (FCIV) utility ...
