What calculations are you referring to? The Machmeter doesn't use temperature to determine your mach number, as the mach number is independant of temperature (i.e. Temperature effects TAS and the local Speed of Sound in the same ratio, and as Mach Number is a ratio, temperature is cancelled out).

Have a look at these previous threads:
machmeter
Mach conversion
Mach vs. IAS
