How many zeros are in one million?

One million is represented numerically as 1,000,000. To determine how many zeros are in one million, you can count the number of zeros in this numerical representation.

When you write out one million, you see there are six zeros following the digit 1. This direct observation shows that the correct answer is that there are six zeros in one million. Understanding the place value system in our number system confirms this, as one million is equivalent to 10 raised to the sixth power (10^6), which further reinforces that there are six digits to the right of the 1.
