Grabbing value of input to string

Question

I am completing a project which contains the following code. All that needs to be fixed is the start of each line. For example, if I used the input "8" it wouldn't reveal the full line of working, instead each line starts with a multiplication sign. Same goes for the other side which has bullet points. I wish to keep the bullet points but also have my input value on each line. I have tried using an id for my value, but it was unsuccessful.

Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers.

mult already contains the first operand, so it just needs to be added to str in the loops:

for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
    str += "<br />";
    str += mult + " x " + i + " = "; // Concatenating mult here.
    str += mult * i;
    str += "";
    str += "";
}

for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
    str += "<br />";
    str += mult + "&bull;" + " x " + i + " = "; // Concatenating mult here.
    str += mult * i;
    str += "";
    str += "";
}
