Every state has 2 senators. Representatives are determined by population. There is no limit on representatives. Therefore, more populated states give more reps (like 23 or 5), which easilly adds more. Even if some states only give 1.

Just to let you know each state has a different amount of representatives if that is what you are asking. The amount is based on the size and population of the state.
