    You need to iterate truth all div’s elements and get class names. Then you need to store biggest values. I write simple example for you:

    HTML:

    <div class="box1"></div>
<div class="box9"></div>
<div class="box4"></div>​

    jQuery:

    var biggestNum = 0;
$('div[class^="box"]').each(function(){
    var currentNum = parseInt($(this).attr('class').replace('box', ''), 10);
    if(currentNum > biggestNum) {
        biggestNum = currentNum;
    }
})​;

alert(biggestNum);
