  ABSTRACT: We know that the hypergeometric function, which is a solution of the hypergeometric differential equation, is expressed in terms of the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative (fD). The solution of the differential equation obtained by the Euler method takes the form of an integral, which is confirmed to be expressed in terms of the Riemann-Liouville fD of a function. We can rewrite this derivation such that we obtain the solution in the form of the Riemann-Liouville fD of a function. We present a derivation of Kummer’s 24 solutions of the hypergeometric differential equation by this method.
