fdisk is reporting 512 bytes sectors but nowadays, disks have 4096 bytes sectors.
The discrepancy between the available size (1172107117 x 512 bytes sectors) and the amount actually used (1172107151 x 512 bytes sectors) is 34 sectors, i.e. 4.25 (sic) actual sectors.
So you have 0.0000029 % of the disk unusable due to rounding errors. No big deal.

NAME
efi_ls - list EFI file information or contents of an EFI directory
SYNOPSIS
devicefile] [path]
DESCRIPTION
lists file information or contents of an EFI directory.
The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the Itanium-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader. See efi(4).
lists filenames, last modified dates, and file sizes. devicefile should be a device file for an EFI volume. Given a path, determines
whether the path is a file or a directory. For a file, lists the file by itself. For a directory, lists the contents of the directory.
If no path is given, lists the root directory for EFI volume. A path should be relative to the root of the EFI volume specified by device-
file, not to an HP-UX file system.
Options
recognizes the following option:
devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system to be listed. Without the option, uses the device file specified in the
environment variable if it is defined. The option overrides the environment variable.
RETURN VALUE
returns exit code 0 on success. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero.
0 Successful completion.
>0 Error condition occurred.
EXAMPLES
List a root directory of device file which contains an EFI file system:
List a root directory of the persistent device file (see intro(7)), which contains an EFI file system:
List the contents of directory of device file which contains an EFI file system:
List information about the file of device file which contains an EFI file system:
