Md5

I have downloaded a new distro and I want to verify that the iso I downloaded is not corrupted. I heard that to verify this I must use a file called MD5. I found this file, but now what?

I am currently downloading the second iso (via windows) so I cannot access my Linux partition now. Please, If you can, tell me what do I have to do to use the md5 file.
