Table with different column numbers - full width

Question

I'm trying to generate a table in beamer like the one in the picture below

The problem is that In the last part of the table, there are lesser columns.

I tried to overcome this issue with a combination of multicolumn and tabular. However, so far I only managed to get misaligned columns standing at the center of the table. Is there a way to get the last columns to fill the whole table width, like the ones in the picture?

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards

But this is far from the table in the picture. The second tabular doesn't have the same width as the first one and also the two tabulars seem to be apart from each other, despite belonging to the same table. This is the result:

I agree with @CarLaTeX, make two tabulars. If you place them in the same table environment, they will share one caption etc. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 06 '18 at 22:31
Please have a look at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425453/why-not-scale-elements-that-contain-text Instead of scaling your table, I suggest to use a smaller font size — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 06 '18 at 22:33
Off-topic: You don't need \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{hyperref} with beamer — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 06 '18 at 22:33
Thank you very much for your replies. I used the two tabular strategy you suggested, but I still couldn't replicate the structure of the table in the first picture. The second tabular doesn't have the same width and it seems apart from the first one. Nevertheless I believe we are getting closer. Thank you. I edited my post with the solution I tried — Luis Martins, Dec 07 '18 at 08:27

I would use a tabular* environment for the upper table; that way, you can ensure that it fits inside the text block. Conversely, I would not use a table environment at all; instead, stick the caption into the argument of \frametitle. I would also use bold-facing much more sparingly; actually, I wouldn't use it at all for this table.

I noticed that you eliminated hyperref - could you do the same with \usepackage{graphicx}? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 07 '18 at 10:05
This is a very nice layout indeed and I think I'll use it instead of trying to mimic the table in the picture. Thank you very much for your reply. — Luis Martins, Dec 07 '18 at 10:29
@samcarter - I must confess that I've lost track of which packages are loaded automatically by the beamer document class. :-( — Mico, Dec 07 '18 at 10:29
@Mico That's easy: basically all, one just has to remember the few packages which are not loaded :) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 07 '18 at 10:30
