I'm currently trying to write a report at the moment with some tables for some data, and it would be ideal for me to put these tables side-by-side if possible.

However, I'm not sure as to how this can be achieved; I've currently doing \documentclass{article} with multiple figures of graphs (includegraphics) which is taking up a lot of space, but Is there anywhere around this problem?

Try to use the scale option as following:

Code: 
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{[I]your figure name[/I]}
