The Mem line:
total-size of the total memory: 1555176Byte
used-memory that has been used: 1513788Byte
free -memory that hasn't been used: 41388Byte
shared - abandoned currently:is always 0
buffers - buffer memory: 302236Byte
cache  - cache memory: 715336Byte

The relationship: total (1555176) = used (1513788) + free (41388)

The second part of (-/+buffers/cache):
(- /buffers/cache) used memory: 496216 (=used-buffers-cached)
(+/buffers/cache) free memory: 1058960 (=free + buffers + cached)

Perhaps you have already known this.Yes,The -/buffers/cache reflects the size of memory that the programe really have  used , and +/buffers/cache reflect the total size of memory that can be misappropriated.
