Using the lowest common denominator: 13100

Explanation:

As a fun fact, the term 'percent' has its roots in Latin, meaning 'for each hundred' (per meaning 'for each' and cent is 100). If we translate this, our fraction is nearly complete:

13 for each 100, or 13 in every 100.

As a fraction, that would be 13100. Additionally, because 13 is a prime number, we cannot reduce the fraction any more, so the final fraction is 13100
