Well I think I'll just provide a formula for these type of questions .

HCF (of fractions) = HCF of numerators LCM of denominators \text{HCF (of fractions)} = \dfrac{\text{HCF of numerators}}{\text{LCM of denominators}} .

LCM (of fractions) = LCM of numerators HCF of denominators \text{LCM (of fractions)} = \dfrac{\text{LCM of numerators}}{\text{HCF of denominators}} .

{Where HCF =Highest Common Factor or Greatest Common Divisor and LCM = Least Common Multiple .}

thanks , keep it up
