How could we fit these tables into a page each?

Best Answer
To narrow the tables you should drop empty columns and maybe reorganize them a bit. And there are several other points to improve them.
Another prerequisite is an appropriate type area by e.g. »geometry« to make the tables fit the page. Alternatively you can decrease the font size inside the
table
environment (but beforetabular
). The corresponding modifications for the first table could look like this. I'm sure you will be able to apply that to the second one.
