Try entering on the same command line your calculation followed by the ToFrac command. That should work. Here is a screen capture from a TI83Plus in complex mode (a+ib).

SOURCE: error when converting complex numbers to fraction

Not quite true for OS 2.56 MP for the TINspire with Ti84 keyboard. To convert a complex decimal value, that you just calculated, into a fraction use the command Math [1:>Frac] and it will convert the value to complex fractions
See below.

SOURCE: How do you convert decimal complex numbers in TI-84 (OS 2.53) to fractions?

I answered a similar question not long ago and here is what I wrote:

I suggest you upgrade the OS to version 2.55 MP.
