Step-by-step explanation:

Mainframes typically run on large boxes with many processors and tons of storage, as well as high-bandwidth busses. PCs are desktop or mobile devices with a single multi-core processor and typically less than 32GB of memory and a few TBs of disk space. Second, a mainframe OS usually supports many simultaneous users.
