We present explicit formal solutions to the systems of equations in two independent variables $t_m$, $x$, $m =1,2,\dots$, of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy. The main tools used are a Birkhoff-like factorization of formal Lie groups due to M. Mulase, and the classical theory of A.G. Reyman and M.A. Semenov-Tian-Shansky on the integration of Hamiltonian systems on coadjoint orbits using $r$-matrices. Our paper also contains full proofs of Mulase's results.
