Language/Type: C++ recursion

For each call to the following recursive function, write the value that would be returned.

int recursionMysteryMinus(int x, int y) {
    if (x < y) {
        return x;
    } else {
        return recursionMysteryMinus(x - y, y);
    }
}

(Side note: What is the function really doing?)

`recursionMysteryMinus(6, 13)`
`recursionMysteryMinus(14, 10)`
`recursionMysteryMinus(37, 10)`
`recursionMysteryMinus(8, 2)`
`recursionMysteryMinus(50, 7)`
