My friend, there's a misunderstanding.

A millennium consists of 1,000 years. Each century consists of 100 years. 10 centuries=1,000 years.

The Battle of Terra took place in the early 31st millennium. At the end of that battle, the Emperor was placed on the Golden Throne. We count his ascension to the godhood from the  31st millennium to the 41st  millennium  (the W40k universe is nearing the 41st millennium).

But let's get back to the math: 10,000 years means 10 millennia. And we know that each millenia consists of  10 centuries, so we need to multiply 10 by 10.

10 x  10= 100

So there you go! A hundred centuries. I really don't know how you came to 900 or 1,000,000 years, but I guess that we can all  affored ourselves to make mistakes sometimes. Don't worry, the info on the mainpage is taken directly from the Black Library's books. I am sure that the members of the Black Library would not make a mistake like this.
