We study the property of divergence of multivector fields on Banach manifolds with Radon measure. We propose an infinite-dimensional version of divergence consistent with the classical divergence from the finite-dimensional differential geometry. Further, we transfer certain natural properties of the divergence operator to the infinite-dimensional setting. Finally, we study the relation between the divergence operator divM on a manifold M and the divergence operator divS on a submanifold S ⊂ M.
