Why does Australia say that it has a $1.1 trillion dollar economy when the CIA world factbook say that it is?

$674.6 billion? I understand that it would be in US dollars, but $1.1 trillion AU in US dollars is $907.448 billion USD? Also, it says that it is US$822.1 billion on wikipedia. Why so many different numbers? Like I said Choco Febo, I've already taken the exchange rate into account.
