An athlete is preparing for a marathon and wants to estimate the number of steps he will take during the race. Considering that the average length of his steps is 1.5 meters, and that an official marathon is exactly 42.195 meters, estimate the order of magnitude of the number of steps the athlete will take to complete the marathon. Remember that the order of magnitude is a way to simplify complex numbers, representing them as powers of 10, and that a step is a discrete action, so the number of steps should be an integer.
