Hashing a file is retrieving its unique hash. Any file is different and they all have other hashes. You can compare hashes with the fingerprint of a human. These hashes serve for many purposes.
Virustotal.com for example, uses hashes to identify files which have already been scanned before. Many distributors of huge files (such as game clients or operating systems such as Ubuntu) often show the MD5 hash of the file. If you hash the file and get the same MD5 hash, the file has been downloaded entirely with no errors.
You can hash a file using various applications. I use HashTab for that.

Difference between Internal hashing n external hashing?
Internal hashing mainly used for internal file, it is particularly an array of records. External hashing used for file disk
What are Different types of file organisation in DBMS?

What is Hash file organization in DBMS?
Hashing is the most common form of purely random access to a file or database. It is also used to access columns that do not have an index as an optimisation technique. Hash functions calculate the address of the page in which the record is to be stored based on one or more fields in the record. The records in a hash file appear randomly distributed across the available space. It requires some hashing algorithm and the technique. Hashing Algorithm converts a primary key value into a record address. The most popular form of hashing is division hashing with chained overflow.
What are hashing techniques that allow dynamic file expansion in dbms?
Dynamic hashing techniques, such as Extendible Hashing and Linear Hashing, allow for efficient file expansion in database management systems (DBMS). Extendible Hashing uses a directory structure that can grow as needed, allowing new buckets to be created without reorganizing existing data. Linear Hashing incrementally splits buckets based on a predetermined growth factor, enabling dynamic adjustment of the hash structure while maintaining efficient access. These techniques help manage variable data sizes and maintain performance as data volume changes.
What are different types of hashing techniques are there in DBMS?
there are 2 types of hashing techniques 1- Static hashing 2-Dynamic hashing
Define hashing and describe briefly including types of hashing and where it is used and advantages and disadvantages of hashing?
Hashing is performed on arbitrary data by a hash function. A hash function is any function that can convert data to either a number or an alphanumeric code. There are possibly as many types of hashing as there are data. How precisely the hash function works depends on what data it is meant to generate a hash code from. Hashing is used for a variety of things. For example, a hash table is a data structure used for storing data in memory. Instead of iterating through the structure to find a specific item, we associate a key (hash code) to a particular item (data). A hash code can be generated from a file or disk image. If the data does not match the code, then the data is assumed to be corrupted. Hashing has the advantage of taking a larger amount of data and representing it as a smaller amount of data (hash code). The code generated is unique to the data it came from. Generating a hash code can take time however, depending on the function and the data. Some hash functions include Bernstein hash, Fowler-Noll-Vo hash, Jenkins hash, MurmurHash, Pearson hashing and Zobrist hashing.
What are the difference between static and dynamic hashing in DBMS?
Search operation in static hashing is time consuming, but in dynamic hashing it is not.
What is Homomorphic Hashing?
Homomorphic Hashing is a algorithm technique used for verifying data.
What is the definition of the word 'hashing'?
Hashing is an algorithm (hash function) to convert a string of characters into a fixed sized text using mathematical functions. The file to be hashed is known as “input” the algorithm used in known as ”hash function” and output is called “Hash Value”, some people call hash value as message digest. Hash value is the value that dictates what exactly in this file and always produces hexadecimal value. more on :networkingmania
