Google Sheets Query - Divide by Sum(Col), Error

Question

I'm doing a simple query but keep getting the error "Add_col_to_group_by_or_agg:Col1".

The formula is

=QUERY({L42:N63}, "Select (Col1*Col3)/Sum(Col1)",0)

What I'm looking for is just as straightforward as the column of result, multiply, then divide by the sum. Thank you in advance.

This is perhaps easier to do without query(), like this:

=arrayformula(L42:L63 * N42:N63 / sum(L42:L63))

thanks for that @doubleunary, I actually forgot to mentioned that, the range "L42:N63" is going to be replaced by the result from another query. Something like =QUERY(QUERY({Range}), "Select (Col1*Col3)/Sum(Col1)",0). I was just putting the range in actual cell to test which part I'm getting wrong. So by that I think I've to do it using query. I think the problem came from the "/SUM(Col1)" part, after some testing. But I just not knowledgeable enough to understand what is going wrong here. Thanks
