So I want to know how this calculation right?
Thanks a lot!
To answer your question: yes, the calculation is correct: "virtual" is the memory really needed by programs (on a long-term basis) and "size" is the memory installed (all these numbers in memory pages - a page is usually 4k in AIX). As long as the "virtual number" is lower than the "size" number (minus some slack - the author says 10%, which is a good rule-of-thumb value) everything is fine, otherwise the system is memory-bound in most cases.
I hope this helps.

FREE(1) Linux User's Manual FREE(1)
NAME
free - Display amount of free and used memory in the system
SYNOPSIS
free [-b | -k | -m] [-o] [-s delay ] [-t] [-V]
DESCRIPTION
free displays the total amount of free and used physical and swap memory in the system, as well as the buffers used by the kernel. The
shared memory column should be ignored; it is obsolete.
Options
The -b switch displays the amount of memory in bytes; the -k switch (set by default) displays it in kilobytes; the -m switch displays it in
megabytes.
The -t switch displays a line containing the totals.
The -o switch disables the display of a "buffer adjusted" line. If the -o option is not specified, free subtracts buffer memory from the
used memory and adds it to the free memory reported.
The -s switch activates continuous polling delay seconds apart. You may actually specify any floating point number for delay, usleep(3) is
used for microsecond resolution delay times.
The -V displays version information.
FILES
/proc/meminfo-- memory information
