I have a table that I would like to be fully centered. I have tried using \centering but that hasn't worked.

My code is 

\begin{table}
    \begin{tabular}{|p{5cm}|p{1.4cm}|p{5cm}|p{1cm}|p{3.5cm}|}
        \hline
         More/Less(IV) of& Leads to & More/Less of (DV) & Due to & Reason\\
         \hline
         An increase in worldwide internet coverage & results in & an increase of video games with online functionality  & Due to & an increasing number of customers with internet \\
         \hline
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}

It ends up looking like this

    One problem is that your table is too wide for the page. Try making the columns smaller. Please provide a minimal working example for us to examine if that does not resolve your issue. – schtandard May 02 '19 at 11:05
  • @schtandard oh sorry, I completely forgot, although Red-Cloud got it anyway. – Tom Gionfriddo May 02 '19 at 11:08

  • @TomGionfriddo it is almost always better to make the table fit the specified text width, certainly if submitting to a journal making things stick in to the margin is usually not allowed, and using \makebox[\textwidth] will allow the table to be wider than the physical page so losing parts of the table with no warning. – David Carlisle May 02 '19 at 12:02
