The number of senators is in the Constitution: every state has 2 senators.
Each state is apportioned a number of representatives based on state population. Population is determined every 10 years with a census. In conjunction with state representatives, each state is given 2 senators to represent them in congress. The number of representatives plus the number of senators equals the number of electorial votes each state is given.
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress"
Representatives are directly elected every two years.
