Verify RSA public private key pair

Hello Experts,

Is there anyway I check and verify the key pair matches correctly.

Code:

[user@server .ssh]$ ll | grep id

-rwx------. 1 user domain users  1743 Oct 26  2017 id_rsa

-rwx------. 1 user domain users  451 May  1 09:39 id_rsa.pub

[user@server .ssh]$

Any help would be appreciated!

Try to use

Code:

ssh-keygen -y -e -m RFC4716 -f id_rsa

and compare the output brought in on long line to the significant part of id_rsa.pub
