Just invert and then round to the nearest "well known" shutter speed - e.g. 0.0101316s = (just about) 1/98 s, and then round to 1/100 s.

You'll probably need a table of shutter speeds to look up into as the traditional speeds aren't quite a geometric progressiontraditional speeds aren't quite a geometric progression. This answerThis answer contains a list of the standard shutter speeds (for both half and third stop increments), but note that my 550D flips over to the "0.3 s" notation at that point, rather than at 1 s as in the table (i.e. a shutter speed of 0.25 s is displayed as 4 in the viewfinder and 1/4 in playback, but 0.3 s is displayed as 0"3 in both the viewfinder and playback). Other cameras may vary on this point.
