Compute both hashes using the same algorithm and byte representation. If the full digests match, the inputs are overwhelmingly likely to be byte-identical for a modern collision-resistant hash; if they differ, at least one byte changed. A hash alone cannot explain where the change occurred. For text, check encoding and line endings before treating a mismatch as a content edit. Keep the originals or a diff if you need to understand what changed.
