What is the number of representatives in the U.S. congress?
There are 100 Senators and 435 Representatives making a total of 535. If you mean the total number of people in Congress then the answer is 535. If you mean just the representatives in the house of representatives, then the answer is 435. As you might already know, the US Legislative Branch is divided into The House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Each state gets two senators (50 states x 2 senators per state = 100 senators). And depending upon the population of each state, each state gets a certain number of representatives. It is roughly 1 representative for every 690,000 people in a state (each state gets at least 1 representative).
