Convert number base 10 to number base x both contained a string.

How would you convert say
"238273615237287352536266362524382737272" base 10 to a base x number contained within a string of characters?
How would you convert a number in base10 to some other base. For example, how would your convert 256 to base 16 ?
If you have steps, you can try converting the steps into code and post it. Doesn't matter if that's working or not.
