It is unlimited. It is based on population. As the population goes up, the number of representatives will go up.

The total number of *voting* members is 435, with a proposal in progress to increase this to 437. There are currently 5 non-voting delegates (from District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico); if you count these there are 440 members.
If the proposal goes through there would be 437 voting members and 4 non-voting delegates for a total of 441. There is no Constitutional limit on how many members there *can* be; it is set by Congress and changed from time to time if there is judged to be sufficient need.

Unlimited, however it has never climbed over 437, which was reached right after WWII. Currently, they are discussing going back to 437 from the current 435.

All of them.... the total number depends on the population of the states and the US as a whole.
