In the factory method design pattern All creaters needs to be subclassed while in Abstract Factory method only one class is need to be subclassed.
Factory method has only one creator while abstract factory method has multiple creators.
Scope of the Factory method is class level i.e. factory method is implemented using the subclassing (inheritence), while Abstract Factory method uses delegation.

If I can add to the differences.
Abstract factory is a creational pattern for the family of objects.
Whereas the factory method is a way to get one individual member of a family.
Hence Abstract Factory makes use of Factory Methods.
