Hi so Im creating a fraction calculator that also finds the gcd. My problem is that everytime I do the addition operator it comes out different from what I expect.

My code is below:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

double gcd (int, int);

int main (){

   char op, slash, repeat;

   int num1, den1, num2, den2, resNum1, resNum2, big, small, ans;

do{   

   cout << "Enter the first fraction: ";

   cin >> num1 >> slash >> den1;

      while (den1 == 0){

         cout << "Denominators cannot be equal to zero. Please reenter entire fraction with valid input: ";

         cin >> num1 >> slash >> den1;

      };

   cout << "Enter operation: ";

   cin >> op;

   cout << "Enter the second fraction: ";

   cin>> num2 >> slash >> den2;

      while (den2 == 0){

         cout << "Denominators cannot be equal to zero. Please reenter entire fraction with valid input: ";

         cin>> num2 >> slash >> den2;

      };

   switch (op){   

      case '+':

         resNum1 = (num1*den2 + num2*den1);

         resNum2 = (den1*den2);

            if (resNum1 > resNum2){

            big = num1;

            small = num2;

            }

            else {

            small = resNum1;

            big = resNum2;

            }

         ans = gcd (small, big);

         cout << resNum1/ans << "/" << resNum2/ans;            

         break;

      case '-':

         resNum1 = (num1*den2 - num2*den1);

         resNum2 = (den1*den2);

            if (resNum1 > resNum2){

            big = num1;

            small = num2;

            }

            else {

            small = resNum1;

            big = resNum2;

            }

         ans = gcd (small, big);

         cout << resNum1/ans << "/" << resNum2/ans;            

         break;

      case '/':

         resNum1 = (num1*den2);

         resNum2 = (num2*den1);

            if (resNum1 > resNum2){

            big = num1;

            small = num2;

            }

            else {

            small = resNum1;

            big = resNum2;

            }

         ans = gcd (small, big);

         cout << resNum1/ans << "/" << resNum2/ans;            

         break;

      case '*':

         resNum1 = (num1*num2);

         resNum2 = (den1*den2);

            if (resNum1 > resNum2){

            big = num1;

            small = num2;

            }

            else {

            small = resNum1;

            big = resNum2;

            }

         ans = gcd (small, big);

         cout << resNum1/ans << "/" << resNum2/ans;   

         break;

      default: break;

   }   

   do{

      cout << "nContinue? (y/n): ";

      cin >> repeat;

   } while (repeat != 'y' && repeat != 'Y' && repeat != 'n' && repeat != 'N');

} while (repeat == 'y' || repeat == 'Y');

   return 0;

}

double gcd (int small, int big){

   int rem;

   rem = big%small;

   while (rem != 0){

      small = rem;

      rem = big%rem;

   }

   return (small);

}
