Best Answer

Out of every 23 consecutive positive integers, one of them is evenly divisible by 23, one produces

a remainder of 1, one produces a remainder of 2, . . . . . , one produces a remainder of 13, . . . . . ,

and one produces a remainder of 22.

So the probability that a random integer will produce a remainder of 13 is (1/23) = about 4.35% (rounded)
