According to Google Analytics, a particular page has 97710 page views. This page has an exit rate of 57.82% and a bounce rate of 64.4%. According to the Navigation Summary page, 91.76% of page visits were entrances, and 8.24% came from previous pages.

From the page views and entrance rate, I calculate the number of direct entrances as:

.9176 * 97710 = 89659

and from that, I calculate the number of bounces as:

.644 * 89659 = 57740

This seems reasonable. Then, from the exit rate and the number of page views, I calculate the number of exits as:

.5782 * 97710 = 56496

This too seems like a reasonable number...but then I saw that the number of bounces (57740) > the number of total exits (56496)!

I've read about what exactly bounce rate and exit rate are, and I've looked at a few examples online where people showed examples of how to calculate bounce and exit rates. Does anyone see anything wrong with my math? Or do I misunderstand how Analytics works?

the data is correct, your math is too. the only difference on why you get a discrepancy of 1244 is because you are calculating with only 2 decimal numbers.

if for example your "real" bounce rate is 91.7653% (and not 91.76% flat) that would result in 89659 direct entrances

.917653 * 97710 = 89663
.644353 * 89663 = 57774
and so forth

also your total exit rate can be smaller than your bounce rate. for example visitors could time out on your site and hence a new session is made without accounting for an exit ...
