which part is the fingerprint in gpg public key

Question

I am using gpg -

$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.12
libgcrypt 1.8.4

I am trying to understand the difference between the two commands :

$ gpg --list-key

and:

$ gpg --fingerprint

from whatever little I see, I don't see any difference between two outputs. Am I looking at something wrong ?

They both produce the same output, except `--fingerprint` outputs its hex code into 10 groups of 4 numbers, instead of bunching them as one string of 40 hex numbers as with `--list-key`. — Paul Benson, Mar 17 '19 at 07:18

The --fingerprint option prints the fingerprint into 10 groups of 4 caracters to easily verify the gpg key.
