Remember, basically and them self doesn't perform any function either. They are not specific about functionality just by their tags.

They can only be customized with the help of CSS.

Now that coming to your question:

SPAN tag together with some styling will be useful on having hold inside a line, say in a paragraph, in the html. This is kind of line level or statement level in HTML.

Example:

DIV tag functionality as said can only be visible backed with styling, can have hold of large chunks of HTML code.

DIV is Block level

Example:

Both have their time and case when to be used, based on your requirement.

Hope am clear with the answer. Thank you.
