That depends on how many rows each time client fetches from server. Default in SQLPlus is 15. So 57009/15 =~3800. Add 96 total block and you get 3896 which is almost the same 3893 consistent gets. see below (non relevant info skipped):
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 'IOTEST');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> select blocks from user_tables where table_Name ='IOTEST';

    BLOCKS


        20

SQL> select count(*) from iotest;

  COUNT(*)


     12667

SQL> set arraysize 15
SQL> set autot traceonly stat
SQL> select * from iotest;

12667 rows selected.

Statistics


        868  consistent gets
        846  SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client

SQL> set arraysize 150
SQL> select * from iotest;

12667 rows selected.

Statistics


        108  consistent gets
         86  SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
