I am planning to upgrade civicrm from version 4.2.9 to 4.7.23. For this can I directly upgrade it from 4.2.9 to 4.7.23? Or any other version I have to upgrade first and then to move to 4.7.23. Please suggest me steps for this.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. But make sure you are on 4.2.9, because
"If you are starting from a version prior to 4.2.9 you should upgrade to the latest 4.2 version as an interim step, as the latest version does not contain upgrade code going back that far."
and
"You can make big jumps in one upgrade (e.g. 4.5.2 to 4.7.20) without needing to apply all the upgrades in between."
