This paper obtains an exact solitary wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation with power law nonlinearity with time-dependent coefficients of the nonlinear as well as the dispersion terms. In addition, there are time-dependent damping and dispersion terms. The solitary wave ansatz is used to carry out the analysis. It is only necessary for the time-dependent coefficients to be Riemann integrable. As an example, the solution of the special case of cylindrical KdV equation falls out.
