LaTeX How to Adjust Size and Position of Multiplication Tables in LaTeX?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on adjusting the size and position of multiplication tables in LaTeX. The user initially encountered issues with the table appearing smaller and misaligned in their document. The solution involved removing the table from the table environment, which was causing the size issue, and utilizing the align environment to position two tables side by side. This approach effectively resolved the user's formatting concerns.

I'd like to type a few tables similar to the one below into a LaTeX document.

<br /> \begin{tabular}{c|cc}<br /> $\cdot$ &amp; 1 &amp; -1 \\<br /> \hline<br /> 1 &amp; 1 &amp; -1 \\<br /> -1 &amp; -1 &amp; 1 \\<br /> \end{tabular}<br />

It comes out much smaller than this in my LaTeX document. Is there an easy way to make it bigger? Also, it appears on the far left. Can I change the position? Can I put another table to the right of the first one?

Edit: Never mind. Seems like every time I ask a question that I haven't been able to answer in an annoyingly long time, I figure out the answer within a few minutes after I post the question. My table was smaller because it was inside a table environment, and it really doesn't need to be. And the align environment can be used to display two tables on the same line.
