Hi,

Your maths aren’t wrong :) The difference is occurring because a reader can like a post without visiting your site.
A view is registered in your stats when a visitor loads or reloads a post.
However a reader can like your post without visiting your site, for example in the Reader. In this instance they haven’t viewed the post on your site — liking a post in this way does not count as a view.
