If you had file installed on one of your systems, than the following command would have answered your question
rpm -q --whatprovides `which file`
In CentOS and other RedHat derived distributions the name of the package is file
$ rpm -q --whatprovides `which file`
file-5.04-13.el6.x86_64
Edit 2 (after a comment from jww)
To install file type
sudo yum install file
Edit 1 As @Miquel reminds in Debian and Ubuntu one can use dpkg-query -S:
$ dpkg-query -S `which file`
file: /usr/bin/file
