I've never hated someone as I hate you and your exercises. No that way, but... Damm, I almost wrong this one. I wouldn't forgive me.

This is my solution, I hope my English is understandable:

Separate the big number in three parts: Unit, Ten, Hundred.

Unit: every 10 10 numbers, we have 1 1 'zero'. So 1000 1000 numbers, we have 100 100 'zeros'.

Ten: every 100 100 numbers, we have 10 10 'zeros'. Since we start to count it from 100 100 to 1000 1000 , from 10 10 to 999 999 we have 90 90 'zeros', when 1000 1000 we have 91 91 'zeros'

Hundred: only one zero.

Sum the results : 100 + 91 + 1 = 192 100+91+1 = 192
