The capacity of jet engines is measured in thrust:
B747-400 with 4 American Pratt & Whitney PW4000: 4x 441 kN = 1764 kN
B747-400 with 4 BritishRolls-Royce RB211 4x 272kN = 1088 kN
In strictly technical terms, the engines on a Boeing 747 do not deliver any actual horsepower. Horsepower is a unit of applied power and thrust is a measurement of force. The thrust numbers presented above appear correct for thrust of the engines.

What is the total horse power of all the engines of a Boeing 747?
All four engines produce a total of 224,000 pounds of thrust.
How much thrust is produced by a Boeing 747?
This information should be available on the Boeing website or other avaition-related websites. For a quick answer, I will related my experiences from 1970's. Boeing certified the B747-200 to operate with General Electric CF6-50 engines. During take-off power, each GE engine could produce 56,000 lbs of thrust per enginer: or 224,000 lbs for a few minutes. Now, the larger B747-400 a/c have more powerful engines. Currently each engine on a Boeing 747-400 can generate a maximum of about 63,300 lbs of thrust. Accordingly, since this aircraft has four engines it can produce total thrust of about 253,000 lbs.
What is the horsepower of one engine in a Boeing 747?
125,000 This is approimately the total power of all four engines. "Fully loaded at 400 tons, the Boeing 747 requires 90 mega-watts (MW) of energy to get airborne. This relates to 120,000 horsepower (hp). The energy consumption during cruising is reduced to half, or 45MW (60,000hp)." So, the peak power output of ONE engine is approximately 30,000 hp.
