How is the NRR and DLS calculated in cricket, like is there any mathematical formula or a software where you put in the entire scenario and it does the calculation?

NRR = Total Runs Scored/Total Overs faced minus Total Runs Conceded/Total Overs bowled. So if you scored 250 and the opposition only scored 200 from 50 overs, your NRR is (250/50)-(200/50), 5-4=1. You then add on each match scores to those totals.
Note, if a team is bowled out then the full overs of an innings are counted. You can create simple spreadsheets to do this for you (I have in the past in my sad ways).
DLS is too match specific to even contemplate explaining.
