[latex] LaTeX table too wide. How to make it fit?

I just started to learn latex and now I'm trying to create a table. This is my code:

\begin{table}
\caption{Top Scorers}
\begin{tabular}{ l l }
    \hline
    \bf Goals & \bf Players\\
    \hline
    4 & First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last\\
    3 & First Last\\
    2 & First Last\\
    1 & First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last, First Last\\
    \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

The problem is that the table is wider than the page. I was hoping that it would automatically fit to the page like normal text does, but it didn't. How do I tell latex to make the table fit to the page?

This question is related to latex tabular

The answer is


You can use these options as well, either use \footnotesize or \tiny. This would really help in fitting big tables.

\begin{table}[htbp]
\footnotesize
\caption{Information on making the table size small}
\label{table:table1}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    S.No       & HMD           \\
    \midrule
    1          & HTC Vive \\
    2          & HTC Vive Pro   \\
    \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

You have to take whole columns under resizebox. This code worked for me

\begin{table}[htbp]
\caption{Sample Table.}\label{tab1}
\resizebox{\columnwidth}{!}{\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
URL &  First Time Visit & Last Time Visit & URL Counts & Value\\
\hline
https://web.facebook.com/ & 1521241972 & 1522351859 & 177 & 56640\\

\hline
\end{tabular}}
\end{table}
