Suppressing page numbering for table which spans over the entire page

Question

I want to suppress page numbering on pages with tables which span over the entire page. I tried to do so by putting a \thispagestyle{empty} before the table but occasionally the command is applied to the previous page. When I put it after the table, the command is applied to the subsequent page. With some tables this seems to work while with others I encounter this problem. Is there any better way to suppress page numbering on exactly the page where the table is located. I assume that this has to do with the float.

The code goes like this:

\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{table}[htp]
\centering
\footnotesize  
\scalebox{0.8}{
\centering\makebox[0pt][c]{%
\begin{tabular}{lrrrrrrrrrrrr}
r&r&r&r&r&r&r&r&r&r&r&r&r\\
\end{tabular}
}
}
\caption{Descriptive Statistics}
\label{tab_desc_stat01}
\end{table}

Welcome to TeX.SX! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here to say “thank you” to users who helped you. — Martin Schröder, Dec 04 '13 at 18:26
Welcome to TeX.SX! Please make your code compilable, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for TeX.SX users willing to help you.

If it's known that the table should go on a page by itself, you should use [p] (or [p!]) instead of [htp] as the location indicator. A \thispagestyle{empty} instruction inside the table environment should then do the job. — Mico, Dec 04 '13 at 19:58
I changed [htp] to [p]. Unfortunately, putting the \thispagestyle{empty} inside the table environment has not resolved it. — Zach, Dec 04 '13 at 21:28
