In computing, multitasking is a method by which multiple tasks, also known as processes, share common processing resources such as a CPU. In the case of a computer with a single CPU while Multi threading is a method by which  programmers implement applications as sets of cooperating processes (e.g. one process gathering input data, one process processing input data, one process writing out results on disk.) This can be done with the help of threads (Threads are a way for a program to fork (or split) itself into two or more simultaneously  running tasks ).
