The purpose of this study is to apply the Lie group analysis method to the time-fractional order generalized fifth-order KdV (TFF-KdV) equation. We examine applying symmetry analysis to the TFF-KdV equation with the Riemann–Liouville (R–L) derivative, employing the G′/G-expansion approach to yield trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational function solutions with arbitrary constants. The discovered solutions are unique and have never been studied previously. For solving non-linear fractional partial differential equations, we find that the G′/G-expansion approach is highly effective. Finally, conservation laws for the equation are well-built with a full derivation based on the Noether theorem.
