Solution 1:[1]

you can use $(this).attr for this

val() works only on input or buttons

const btn = $('.btn');
let example = $('#example');
let result = $('#result');
var test = btn.value;


btn.on('click', function(){
    console.log($(this).attr('val'));
   
})
.btn{
    border-radius: 5px;
    margin-top: 3vh;
    float: left;
    margin-left: 4%;
    width: 20%;
    height: 12vh;
    background: red;
    line-height:12vh;
    text-align: center;
    font-size:300%;
    font-weight: bold;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="btn" val="1">1</div>

To get innerHTML you can use this plain JS code

<div id="myButton" class="btn" val="1">1</div>

const button = document.getElementById('myButton');
const value = value.innerHTML;

And you should have value of it
