How much xp/prestige do you gain at a gym by training?
I have tested this a little bit and I'm not quite sure I understand the exact numbers or what impacts them.
I took a gym, put in a 25cp Magikarp, and trained against it.
521cp Vaporeon: 10xp and 100 prestige
10cp Magnemite: 100xp and 1000 prestige
I didn't record other numbers, but I know I would only get around 800ish prestige with pokemon around the 25cp-35cp range.
Purpose to this (feel no need to answer these): What if there were 2+ low cp defenders? Would I gain 100xp per defeat as long as my cp is equal to or lower than theirs? Could I gain more xp if the defender was 500cp and I won with a 200cp? Is this a strat to take down more prestige at an opposing gym (low cp, type advantage)?
For all I know, getting less than 100xp per defeat is based on HP difference, attack power difference, or even how many attacks it took to win.
Does anyone know the math for how much xp you gain or prestige you gain when training, and how much they lose at opposing gyms?
Thanks!

According to heavy.com, it is:
- When your attacker has a lower [or same] CP than the defender:
500 x (Defender CP / Attacker CP) - When your attacker has a higher CP than the
defender:
310 x (Defender CP / Attacker CP) – 55
and the max is 1000 per defender you beat.
Also note that the attacker's CP is the highest CP of your 6 Pokemons, even if you didn't use it. For example, if you beat a CP 1000 Arcanine using a CP 500 Vaporeon, but one of your other 5 Pokemons that was chosen for battling have CP of 1100, then the CP 1100 is used to calculate the prestige increased, instead of using CP 500. As a result, if you intend to beat only that Arcanine, then choose your other 5 Pokemons to have CP at or lower than 500 CP if you want a prestige increase of 1000.
The XP is 10% of the prestige increased.

How can I increase my prestige in gym?
Players can train at friendly Gyms to increase the Gym's Prestige, or challenge opposing Gyms to decrease its Prestige. The mechanics of both kinds of battle are similar, with the player battling the Gym's Pok\xe9mon, which are AI controlled. In both cases, defeating Pok\xe9mon at Gyms will yield a small reward of XP.Do you get XP for putting a Pokemon in a gym?
