is there a way to think about this concept that makes it easier to understand?

I am having trouble wrapping my head around the correct coding for these concepts.

script.js 
var html = '';

for ( var i = 4;  i<=157; i += 1 ) {
     html += '<div>' + i + '</div>';
     }
     console.log(html);

Looks like you're over complicating the challenge. It never asked you to log an HTML <div> tag with a number inside it to the console. It only wanted the number logged to the console. Every number. To log every number each time the loop is ran you'll want console.log() inside the loop body. You set up the loop itself correctly (except for including 157), which would typically be the most difficult part of this challenge. So good job on that!

for (var i = 4; i <= 156; i += 1) {
  console.log(i);
}

Thanks! this answer plus the loop practice in the library cleared it right up.
