Here is how you get your Value from the string without jQuery:

var pageNum = a.substring(a.indexOf('<strong>' + 8, ), a.indexOf('</strong>'))

You can find the strong element inside the div and then get its contents using .text()

var pageNum = $("div").find('strong').text()

With the update

jQuery(function(){
    var a = '<strong>1954</strong>im the text';
    var pageNum = $(a).filter('strong').text();
    alert(pageNum);
})
