The Maxwell’s equations of commutative quaternions play an important role in commutative quaternion electromagnetism. This paper studies the problem of solutions to Maxwell’s equations of commutative quaternions by means of a real representation of commutative quaternion matrices. This paper first derives an algebraic technique for finding solutions of the least squares eigen-problem 
of the commutative quaternion matrix and also gives algebraic technique for finding the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of the commutative quaternion matrix. A numerical experiment is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the real representation algorithm.
