In the United States, the process of apportionment means the redistributing of the seats of the House of Representative in the United States on its 50 states (with each constitutionally mandated decennial census). At least one seat constitutionally is guaranteed to every state.

Reapportionment is a way of reassigning congressional representation to the 50 states based on the latest census results. There are 435 members of the house. Each state automatically receives one seat, then the additional seats are handed out using a mathematical formula.

It refers to general average contributions. For example, a group of people, with equal shares in anything, may all expect to receive an equal amount when the shares are converted to cash
