One. Rhode Island, for example. Seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned by population, and Rhode Island is a pretty small state.
On the other hand, the state of Montana is huge - but doesn't have many people, so they also have one Representative in the House.

Who are the 435 people or voting members in the house of representatives?
From a district in a state (gradpoint)The U.S. Constitution establishes minimum and maximum sizes for the U.S. House of Representatives (Article 1, Section 2).At a minimum, each state must have at least 1 member, and seats are awarded to states proportionately according to population. Because seats are apportioned according to population, it is difficult to establish the exact minimum number of House members. As of the 2000 census, Wyoming was the least populous state, with 493,782. They U.S. population at that time was 281,421,906, meaning that if each House district had the same number of people, there would be about 570 members. Since there are only 435 members, we know that House districts vary in population from state to state. Therefore the minimum number allowed by the Constitution is not immediately clear. Within a state, each House district must have an equal population.House districts must contain at least 30,000 citizens. Based on a U.S. population of 300 million, the maximum size of the House of Representatives would be 10,000 members.In 1911, Congress passed Public Law 62-5, which limited the size of the House of Representatives to 435 members. The law took effect in 1913. If it wants to, Congress could change the number of members in the House, provided that the new number is within the minimum and maximum established by the Constitution.See : http:/clerk.house.gov/member_info/memberfaq.html
