Indicated Mach number which is corrected for instrument and position errors equals True Mach Number

Instrument errors are errors due to manufacturing or design defects that all instruments have to some small degree.

Position error is due to the position of the pitot and static ports on the aircraft getting disturbed air pressure from some part of the aircraft's structure.
