A fraction like 508/523 can describe a very high success rate in everyday life. For example, it might represent 508 correct answers out of 523 questions, 508 working products out of 523 checked, or 508 sunny days in a long record.
You can picture 508/523 as almost a whole, with only 15 parts missing. Since 97.13% is so close to 100%, a quick estimate is to think of it as about 97 out of every 100, or roughly 3 out of every 100 not included.
