Splitting a wide table by columns into two tables but with same table number and name

Question

I have to create a table with several columns. I couldn't create it as a single table because number of columns will not fit into a single page. So I split the table by showing some columns first and the rest later.

Here you can see the same table named differently, according to the split (table 3 and 4). Is there a way to give the same table name for the each split (only as table 3)?

Here is my code:

\begin{table}[p]
  \caption{Summary results}
  
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabular}{lllllllllllcp{2.5in}} \hline
    & \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{t 1}} &
    \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{t 2}}    \\ 
    & \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{a} &
   \textbf{a}& \textbf{b} &
   \textbf{b}& \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{a} &
  \textbf{a} & \textbf{b} &
   \textbf{b} \\\hline
   \textbf{Predictor} &  & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0} & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0}& \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0} & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0} \\\hline
  A scale & 0.14 &  0.16 &  0.14 &  & & 0.14 &  0.16 &  0.14  \\
    
 D  scale  &    0.22    & 0.28  &   0.27  & &  &    0.25 &  0.28 &  0.27\\
 



   \end{tabular}
  \end{center}
\end{table}


\begin{table}[p]
  \caption{Summary results.}
  
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tabular}{lllllllllllcp{2.5in}} \hline
    & \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{t 3}} &
    \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{t 4}}    \\ 
    & \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{a} &
   \textbf{a}& \textbf{b} &
   \textbf{b}& \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{a} &
  \textbf{a} & \textbf{b} &
   \textbf{b} \\\hline
   \textbf{Predictor} &  & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0} & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0}& \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0} & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0} \\\hline
  A scale & 0.14 &  0.16 &  0.14 &  & & 0.14 &  0.16 &  0.14  \\
    
 D  scale  &    0.22    & 0.28  &   0.27  & &  &    0.25 &  0.28 &  0.27\\
 



   \end{tabular}
  \end{center}
\end{table}

Thank you in advance!!

You may achieve your formatting objective by loading the caption package and issuing a \ContinuedFloat directive after starting the second table environment (and before issuing the associated \caption directive, of course). As the following example demonstrates, the arguments of the \caption directives needn't be identical.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption} % for \ContinuedFloat macro
\captionsetup{skip=0.333\baselineskip} % optional

\begin{document}
\setcounter{table}{2} % just for this example

\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
  \caption{Summary results}
  \begin{tabular}{lllllllllllc p{2.5in}} 
  \hline
    & \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{t 1}} 
    & \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{t 2}} \\ 
    & \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{a} &
   \textbf{a}& \textbf{b} &
   \textbf{b}& \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{a} &
   \textbf{a}& \textbf{b} &
   \textbf{b} \\
   \hline
   \textbf{Predictor} &  & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0}& \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0}& \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0}& \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0} \\
   \hline
   A scale & 0.14 & 0.16 & 0.14 & & & 0.14 & 0.16 & 0.14 \\    
   D scale & 0.22 & 0.28 & 0.27 & & & 0.25 & 0.28 & 0.27 \\
   \end{tabular}
\end{table}

\begin{table}[htbp]
\ContinuedFloat
\centering
  \caption{Summary results, continued}
  \begin{tabular}{lllllllllllc p{2.5in}} 
  \hline
    & \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{t 3}} 
    & \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{t 4}}    \\ 
    & \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{a} &
   \textbf{a}& \textbf{b} &
   \textbf{b}& \textbf{Overall} & \textbf{a} &
   \textbf{a}& \textbf{b} &
   \textbf{b} \\
   \hline
   \textbf{Predictor} &  & \textbf{1} &
   \textbf{0}& \textbf{1} &

   A scale & 0.14 & 0.16 & 0.14 & & & 0.14 & 0.16 & 0.14 \\
