scanf reading more values than intended

[livin]

Hello all..I am kind of trying my hand at C as a beginner following a standard book. I typed program as such for gcd of 2 numbers. but I dont know why scanf is taking more values than 2 and not terminating. I checked the syntax and it seems fine. What could be the problem?

I am attaching the code. Thanks in advance.

scanf is working fine in your code. there is a problem with your 'gcd' function.
if I put printf after scanf in main like this:

#include <stdio.h>
// more code
int main(){
	int i =0 ,j = 0;
	puts("Enter the numerator and denomonator");
	scanf("%d %d", &i, &j);
	printf("You entered: %d %d\n", i, j);
	int k = gcd(i,j);
	printf("The GCD of the numbers inputted are %d	\n", k);
	return 0;
}

If I enter 1 and 2, I get:

Enter the numerator and denomonator
1
2
You entered: 1 2

Look through your gcd function

Thanks..I kind of figured it out..missing braces for while loop..
