reapportion means to redistribute every ten years the house seats are reapportioned when the united states counts its population.
Decennial reapportionment is the process of redistributing congressional seats among the states based on the results of the decennial census, which occurs every ten years in the United States. This process adjusts the number of representatives each state has in the House of Representatives, reflecting population changes and ensuring that representation is proportional to the population. The goal is to ensure fair representation, as states with growing populations gain seats, while those with declining populations may lose them.

In the UK a party needs at least 326 seats to gain the majority. In 2010 general elections the Libdem only got 57 seats & conservatives 306 seats & 258 seats to Labour. Libdems & conservaties had to join together, this is called a "coalition government".

The census is taken every ten years to find out how many people are living in each state. Following the resume, seats in the House of Representatives are reapportioned based on population. This is because the number of seats in the House of Representatives that each state receives are based on population, this is called proportional representation because the number of representatives is proportional to the number of people living in their state. During reapportionment some states may lose seats in Congress or gain them depending on the fluctuation of the states population.
Since January 3, 2013 the answer is 22 seats.
