Why Ubuntu shows less HDD capacity?

I have a laptop with HDD 500GB and I installed Windows and Ubuntu on it. I used about 100gb for Windows partition and the rest is for Ubuntu (368gb). However when I load Ubuntu it shows 105gb volume, where's the rest.
I'm new to Ubuntu, I installed it yesterday so still getting the hang of it, but this I can not figure out so please help.

Here's a picture of "everything" for easier understanding:

The rest is "Computer" underneath your 105GB volume.

This is known your root filesystem, the "/" mount point - /dev/sda5 as shown in gparted.

Note there is some space allocated for a swap partition which is equivalent of the pagefile in windows.
