Statement:- It states that the surface integral of a normal component of any vector function on a closed surface is equal to the volume integral of the divergence of vector function.
Proof:-  The total charge enclosed by volume ?V is given by
Divergence theorem formula
........(1)
The total outward flux coming out from the volume is ?V equal to the charge enclosed.
???Q = charge density x volume
?? = ?Q =?v?V = ?v?x?y?z.......(2)
From equation (1) and (2)
Divergence theorem formula........(3)
The divergence of D is given by 
Divergence theorem formula
Divergence theorem formula........(4)
From (3) and (4) 
Divergence theorem formula
According to Gauss's Law
? = Q
