Definition
两万四千 is a numeral meaning 'twenty-four thousand' — it's a number, not a measure word. The POS 'm' (measure word) in the source data is incorrect; this is a cardinal number. In Chinese, numbers are written with 两 (liǎng) for 'two' when counting thousands or above, not 二 (èr), so 两万四千 is the standard form for 24,000.
m
twenty-four thousand (24,000)
