Let $V\subset {\mathbb{R}}^3$ be a bounded region with piecewise smooth closed boundary $\partial V$, let $\mathbf{n}$ be its outward unit normal vector, and let $\mathbf{A}$ be a continuously differentiable vector field on a neighbourhood of its closure. The divergence theorem statesHere $dV$ is the positive volume measure, $dS$ is the surface area measure, $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}={\partial }_x{A}_x+{\partial }_y{A}_y+{\partial }_z{A}_z$, and the right side is the total outward flux. All boundary components must be included, with their normals pointing away from $V$.
