[Tex/LaTex] How make a table fit inside the margins

How can I make this table fit inside left and right margin?

May someone help me please? Using \makebox is not a good output!

Moving the duplicate information of exp-resLayer out of each head and above them in a \multicolumn does wonders to your table width:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{array}

\textwidth 15cm
\textheight 22cm
\parindent 10pt
\oddsidemargin 0.85cm
\evensidemargin 0.37cm

\begin{document}
\begin{table}
  \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|}
    \hline
      & & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{exp-resLayer} \\
    \cline{3-6}
      & base & 2 & 10 & 2-lr & 10-lr \\
    \hline
    numIters & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \hline
    numEps & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \hline
    tempThreshold & 400 & 400 & 400 & 400 & 400 \\
    \hline
    updateThreshold & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 \\
    \hline
    numMCTSSims & 50 & 50 & 50 & 50 & 50 \\
    \hline
    arenaCompare & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \hline
    cpuct & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\
    \hline
    numItersForTrainExamplesHistory & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \hline
      & & & & & \\
    \hline
    lr & 0.01 & 0.01 & 0.001 & 0.01 & 0.001 \\
    \hline
    epochs & 10 & 10 & 10 & 10 & 10 \\
    \hline
    batch\_size & 32 & 32 & 32 & 32 & 32 \\
    \hline
    residual\_block\_num & 5 & 2 & 10 & 2 & 10 \\
    \hline
    image\_stack\_layers & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 \\
    \hline
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

EDIT: if it should be more clear that each of the columns should be something like exp-resLayer<i> then one could change that to:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{array}

\textwidth 15cm
\textheight 22cm
\parindent 10pt
\oddsidemargin 0.85cm
\evensidemargin 0.37cm

\begin{document}
\begin{table}
  \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|}
    \hline
      & & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{exp-resLayer$\langle i\rangle$} \\
    \cline{3-6}
      & base & 2 & 10 & 2-lr & 10-lr \\
    \hline
    numIters & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \hline
    numEps & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \hline
    tempThreshold & 400 & 400 & 400 & 400 & 400 \\
    \hline
    updateThreshold & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 \\
    \hline
    numMCTSSims & 50 & 50 & 50 & 50 & 50 \\
    \hline
    arenaCompare & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \hline
    cpuct & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\
    \hline
    numItersForTrainExamplesHistory & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \hline
      & & & & & \\
    \hline
    lr & 0.01 & 0.01 & 0.001 & 0.01 & 0.001 \\
    \hline
    epochs & 10 & 10 & 10 & 10 & 10 \\
    \hline
    batch\_size & 32 & 32 & 32 & 32 & 32 \\
    \hline
    residual\_block\_num & 5 & 2 & 10 & 2 & 10 \\
    \hline
    image\_stack\_layers & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 \\
    \hline

\end{table}
\end{document}

An imho prettier version without all those vertical rules and less horizontal ones:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{array}

\textwidth 15cm
\textheight 22cm
\parindent 10pt
\oddsidemargin 0.85cm
\evensidemargin 0.37cm

\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}
  \begin{tabular}{l*5c}
    \toprule
      & & \multicolumn{4}{c}{exp-resLayer} \\
    \cmidrule{3-6}
      & base & 2 & 10 & 2-lr & 10-lr \\
    \midrule
    numIters & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    numEps & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    tempThreshold & 400 & 400 & 400 & 400 & 400 \\
    updateThreshold & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 & 0.54 \\
    numMCTSSims & 50 & 50 & 50 & 50 & 50 \\
    arenaCompare & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    cpuct & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\
    numItersForTrainExamplesHistory & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 \\
    \noalign{\medskip}
    lr & 0.01 & 0.01 & 0.001 & 0.01 & 0.001 \\
    epochs & 10 & 10 & 10 & 10 & 10 \\
    batch\_size & 32 & 32 & 32 & 32 & 32 \\
    residual\_block\_num & 5 & 2 & 10 & 2 & 10 \\
    image\_stack\_layers & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 \\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Initial page numbers wrong

You get three times a page 1 in the front matter: in the report class the titlepage environment which is used also by abstract resets the page number to 1.

I suggest you to use the book class with its \frontmatter and \mainmatter commands, with \chapter{\abstractname} for the abstract in the front matter.

However also the report class can be used, after patching the relevant commands; I show only the important parts, add the rest to suit. It's probably better to \usepackage[<options>]{geometry} for setting the page parameters and \usepackage{setspace} for the interline spacing.

Remember the \clearpage command before \pagenumbering{arabic}.

\documentclass[12pt]{report}

%%% PATCHES %%%
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
% Patch `titlepage` not to reset the page number
\patchcmd{\titlepage}{\setcounter{page}\@ne}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\endtitlepage}{\setcounter{page}\@ne}{}{}{}

% Patch `abstract` so that it shows the page number
\patchcmd{\abstract}{\titlepage}{\titlepage\thispagestyle{plain}}{}{}
\makeatother
%%% END PATCHES %%%

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\begin{titlepage}
abc
\end{titlepage}
\begin{abstract}
dddd
\end{abstract}

\tableofcontents

\clearpage %%%%% <---- IMPORTANT
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\pagestyle{myheadings} \markright{}
\chapter{A}

\end{document}
