As an intrinsic semiconductor is a pure form of semiconductor, the number of electrons is equal to the number of holes.

No sharing of electrons from other atoms.
A number of electrons = Number of holes.
A number of electrons = Number of holes.

Intrinsic semiconductor is a pure form of semiconductor material with no added impurities in it. Hence the no of conducting electrons is equal to no of holes.

Intrinsic semiconductors have same no of electrons and holes at room temperature. That is why they do not conduct and behave as insulators. But as the temperature inc from room temperature, the bond between the atoms and electrons breaks, and we get free electrons for the flow of current.
