The format of the last four is: TOTAL:SECTORS:HEADS:CYLINDERS.

This means you can calculate the size of the disk by using the first of
the four and time it with 512 bytes (per sector).

This gives you in the above examples:

117255600 x 512 bytes per sector = 60034867200 Bytes, i.e. 55.9 GB.
19535040 x 512 bytes per sector = 10001940480 Bytes, i.e. 9.3 GB

More later.
