Wiring a GFCI

So I'm trying to figure out how to wire this gfci. It has 3 blacks, 3 whites, and 3 grounds all coming into the outlet box. One line is power in, one other line is to the light fixture then the light switch, the other wire is from the fan. How can I wire this up to only trip the outlet?

Are there two switches there......one for fan and one for light ?

Is this a 3 gang box ?
So will it be two switches and the GFI in that 3 gang box.

Thanks I actually just figured it out though, I connected all the blacks and pig tailed it to the gfci, then did the same with the whites. Works good now and doesn't trip the whole bathroom.
