STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Endurance Limit: 52.0593 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 52059300 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Endurance Limit of Rotating Beam Specimen: 220 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 220000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Modifying Factor for Stress Concentration: 0.34 --> No Conversion Required
Surface Finish Factor: 0.92 --> No Conversion Required
Size Factor: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_c = S_e/(S'_e*K_d*K_a*K_b) --> 52059300/(220000000*0.34*0.92*0.85)

Evaluating ... ...

K_c = 0.88999993161645

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.88999993161645 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.88999993161645 ≈ 0.89 <-- Reliabilty Factor
