How many times stronger a H-Bomb is stronger than atom Bomb?
You are confused, a nuclear bomb is a general name covering both "atomic bomb" and "hydrogen bomb". A hydrogen bomb is typically higher yield than an atomic bomb, although it is possible to design very small low yield hydrogen bombs for special purposes that have lower yield than "typical" atomic bombs. However for "typical" hydrogen bombs their yield is roughly 1000 times the yield of a "typical" atomic bomb.
Why did they stop using atomic bombs?
If you are referring to WW2, then the US stopped using atomic bombs on Japan because Japan agreed to surrender. Had they not, the US had plans and production setup to drop a total of 23 atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.
Was it necessary for the US to drop an atomic bomb on Japan?
It would have been possible for the US to defeat Japan without using atomic bombs, however, there was a strategic reason for using the bombs, which was that Russia had entered the war and was intent on occupying Japan in much the way that they took over eastern Europe, and note that there is still one Japanese island occupied by Russia to this day, in 2011. So the US, which even before WW II was entirely over was already making plans for the Cold War to come, needed to bring the war with Japan to a rapid conclusion, and they were able to do that by using atomic bombs.

What was the largest nuclear bomb?
When people talk about nuclear bombs, they are generally in two categories; atomic and thermonuclear. Atomic bombs are like the ones dropped on Japan in 1945.Thermonuclear bombs have never been used in warfare and involve using an atomic bomb to set off an explosion of a thermonuclear bomb, like a hydrogen bomb.IN ADDITION:The Soviet exploded the largest nuclear bomb to date back in 1961. It was a hydrogen bomb which released energy equivalent to 57 megatons of TNT. Compare that to the 15 kilotons of energy released by the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima Japan during WWII ( 3,800 times more energy released). The name of this device was Tsar Bomba, meaning "king of bombs."
What year did you bomb Japan?
