Gimp is a raster / bitmap editor where the image is made up from rectangular pixels. You can enter size units such as inches but there is an internal conversion to pixels.
There is also a print resolution, pixels-per-inch (ppi) to consider see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Image-size-in-Gimp This is the most important setting for publishing. What are you using ?
Not all inch sizes can be can be converted exactly, especially 4 decimal points. Gimp only displays 3.
Depending on the resolution you initially used you might get this @ 300 ppi for 10.4325"
3129 pixels = 10.430"
3130 pixels = 10.433"
3131 pixels = 10.437"
So, 10.433 is the best you will get and the difference represents part of a pixel (a bit like splitting the atom) It is a negligible. 0.03 %
