in the divergence theorm you have div F, but i wanted to know how to show this is exactly the same as the divergence theorem but not with div f but with curl F instead???
I have no idea what all that means.
Can you please explain?

Are you looking for the general Stokes' Theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes%27_theorem)?

no i want to know how to show the curl theorem using the divergence theorem

Please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that the curl theorem (Kelvin-Stokes theorem)

and the divergence theorem
http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/f/b/6/fb6cbe67ee035c366e49384a1a0fc4d8.png
are special cases of the general Stokes' Theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes%27_theorem)

So they can be proved by specializing the same general technique. But the curl theorem does not follow from divergence theorem.
