The working

Pixels are inches multiplied by the resolution, and an inch is 25.4 mm.

Width: 105 mm ÷ 25.4 = 4.134 in; 4.134 in × 96 = 396.9, which rounds to 397 pixels.
Height: 148 mm ÷ 25.4 = 5.827 in; 5.827 in × 96 = 559.4, which rounds to 559 pixels.

Bleed is extra image past the trim line, so that a cut that lands slightly off still leaves ink to the edge. Print shops usually ask for 3 mm on every side of an A-series page, which makes the file 420 × 582 pixels.
