Abstract
In many recent works, many authors have demonstrated the usefulness of fractional calculus in the derivation of particular solutions of a significantly large number of linear ordinary and partial differential equations of the second and higher orders. The main objective of the present paper is to show how this simple fractional calculus method to the solutions of some families of fractional differential equations would lead naturally to several interesting consequences, which include (for example) a generalization of the classical Frobenius method. The methodology presented here is based chiefly upon some general theorems on (explicit) particular solutions of some families of fractional differential equations with the Laplace transform and the expansion coefficients of binomial series.

Summary
Many authors have demonstrated the usefulness of fractional calculus in the derivation of particular solutions of a significantly large number of linear ordinary and partial differential equations of the second and higher orders. We apply the Laplace of the fractional derivative and the expansion coefficients of binomial series to derive the explicit solutions to homogeneous fractional differential equations. The fractional derivative of a causal function f (t) (cf [ , ]) is defined by dα f (n)(t) if α = n ∈ N, dtα f (t) =
