Quorum
A quorum. The precise number that will make up a quorum will be written into the rules of the organisation. It is usually surprisingly low.
Depending on the type of quorum required -- owners' quorum or board quorum -- no business can be conducted legally if the required quorum is not present or represented. In extreme cases, best practices dictate that a board contact its association counsel for advice and guidance about the best course of action to take when achieving the required quorum is required in order to conduct business legally, and one cannot be gathered.
A quorum is the minimum number of people in a group that are required to make decisions that can stand and are valid. In many cases, a quorum is one half of the entire group.
A quorum is the minimum number of members required to be present in order for a meeting or assembly to be legally valid.

quorum
quorum = minimum number of people required for a meeting or assembly before it can validly start eg The annual meeting couldn't start until a fourth person arrived, because the quorum for a valid meeting was four.
In law it is the minimum number of members required of a body of people for a decision to be made.
A quorum means a required number of participants. For example, a corporation's meeting of their board of directors might require fifty percent attendance for the meeting to have any binding status.
It depends on three variables: x = total number of members y = percentage of members required to determine z: z = number more or less than y required to make a quorum. As an example, let's say we have a membership of 27. The number required to have a quorum is 3 more than 40% of the membership. So, here the quorum would be: 0.4 * 27 + 3 = 13.8, which would normally be rounded up to 14. Rounding, using either the ceiling or floor function, can also be another variable in the equation. Most quorums are simpler than this. If a quorum is 1 more than 50% of membership, then the formula is: Floor((0.5*x)+1) where x is the number of total members.
