A rotating steel shaft is supported at the ends. It is subjected to a point load at the center. The maximum bending stress developed is $100$ $MPa$. If the yield, ultimate and corrected endurance strength of the shaft material are $300$ $MPa$, $500$ $MPa$ and $200$ $MPa$, respectively, then the factor of safety for the shaft is _______
