inurl: is showing 10 times the results of site:

What it means when inurl is showing 10 times the results shown by site?

Example:-

site:widgets.com is showing 4000+ but inurl:widgets.com is showing 38,500

Thanks

It means that Google has found 38,400 links that reference widgets.com in some way.
