The House of Representatives has 435 members. If a committee has a prime number of members, and that number is a factor of 435, then the members can be on the committee is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of members in a committee which should be a factor of the number 435, then first of all the factor of the number 435 is to be calculated. The factors of the number 435 are 5 multiplied by three multiplied by twenty nine is 435.

Since the highest number out of these three is twenty nine and also it is a prime number, then the number of members of the committee is twenty nine.
