In laplacian operater the function is producted(multiplied) two times by the del operator and in divergence it is only once. Generally spherical coordinate system is used to find ...

basic diff is that divergence is 1s order derivative.. while laplacian is second order so that.. formulas are different -2 ...best regards

hope you got
divergence is simply dot product of del with some vector and laplacian is divergence of gradient of some scalar function(del square). Divergence and laplacian are completely differ...
